 Rotary thanks everyone who came out to enjoy our third annual community Oktoberfest event at Rotary Hall starting with our beer tent and Oktoberfest-themed food in the afternoon, followed by music with the Paul Williamson Band at Rotary Hall in the evening, along with food and drink and the always-popular beer stein hold contests held that night! More photos from this year’s Oktoberfest event can be found on our website at: The winners of the Beer Stein Hold Contests this year were Rotarian Sue Kolundzic for the Ladies’ Competition (with a time of three minutes and ten seconds – her second year of winning the ladies event!), and Daniel Stewart for the Men’s Competition (with a time of four minutes and 42 seconds). Congratulations Sue and Daniel! Rotary thanks our sponsoring partner Tagwerk Biers with special thanks to Master Brewer Christian Klaus Reimerschmid von der Heide of Tagwerk Bier! We also thank volunteer Friends of Rotary who helped out throughout the day and evening, making our third annual Oktoberfest a huge success! We thank Cedric and Ashley Scott for providing the wagon drawn by their mules Pearl and Becky to transport the first beer cask to be tapped to open Oktoberfest 2025 at Rotary Hall! And we thank our very generous sponsors of this year’s Oktoberfest which included EPH Tools & Machining Ltd., T&P Hayes Investments, and Kyle & Kara of Hellyer's Foodland, Lion's Head! |

 Rotarians and friends gathered at Rotary Hall on Tuesday, July 15th for a farewell bar-be-que for Matthew, our Rotary youth exchange student, before he returns to his home in Taiwan after eleven months of living and studying here in Canada. Matthew arrived in Canada last September, enrolled in Grade 11 classes at Bruce Peninsula District School, and stayed with four different host families - initially with Rotarians Cathryn and Tom Buckley in Tobermory, before going to the home of Jennifer and Scott Parker, followed by Julie, Brent and classmate James Wheeler, and most recently with Trace MacKay and Stephen Woeller. More photos from the send-off can be found on our Rotary website at https://www.rotarynbp.org/photoalbums/rotary-exchange-student |
