On behalf of the Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation and the Calgary and Area Rotary clubs we would thank the guests, participants and volunteers who joined us for the 2012 Rotary Music and Motion Fall Festival. The Festival drew hundreds of new visitors and raised the profile of one of Alberta's newest provincial parks. Excellent weather, tremendous music and great food combined to create an amazing experience for all participants and created a successful launching point for fundraising for years to come.
Over 1,500 visitors participated in the inaugural fundraising event at the Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park. The Festival attracted almost 1,000 people to the Beethoven on the Bow, over 300 attended the Grits for Glenbow Gala and BBQ,and nearly 250 runners participated in the Run at the Ranch.
"We are confident and well pleased with the numbers which will support the completion of the Rotary Trail connecting Calgary to Cochrane through the Park. We expect attendance to more than double next year,"said Andy Crooks, CEO of the Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation.
The Festival was supported by the Rotary clubs of Calgary and Area who provided financial and volunteer support that made the event possible.
Corporate sponsorship of the Festival was nearly $130,000 and the live and silent auction raised over $20,000 for the Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation's work on the Park. Without the generous contributions of these businesses and individuals this event would not have been possible.
Again, thank you to all and we look forward to seeing you in 2013!
