What a day.

We seriously couldn’t have asked for better weather, a better crowd, or a better way to bring the community together. From the free BBQ by Kal Tire to the turtle races, the bike rodeo, and everything in between… it was one of those days you just don’t want to end.

Thank you to everyone who came out, bought tickets, cheered on their turtles, and made this event what it was. The energy was incredible.

A huge thank you to our sponsors and every single volunteer who helped make this happen. These events don’t run without you, and we’re so grateful.

And of course… congratulations to our winners
