He and fellow Rotarian Frank Larabie presented a summer 2018 proposed dual-event blockbuster to Perth Committee of the Whole Tuesday. As a partner with the town for the 2018 Ribfest, their proposal is to add a music festival and stage the two-for-one event at Last Duel Park. Ribfest typically draws 10,000 annually to the event.', ), '4.p' => 'For the last three years, Ribfest has been held at the Fairgrounds but with a groundswell of comments about lack of shade, Peden and Larabie presented a plan to hold it at the park.', '5.p' => 'Music and food lovers can “enjoy the sunshine from the shade,” Peden said. “They can come for ribs and stay for music.”', '6.p' => array( 1 => 'Peden outlined how the venue would be set-up: the soundstage would point downriver cutting back on noise to nearby neighbours, with “the nearest lot [being] 400 feet from the soundstage.”', 2 => 'Vendors would set up along the river, the car show would be further into the park, there is a planned three-part kids’ area, and campers are only a quarter-of-a-mile away.', ), '7.p' => 'Plans are also in the works for a shuttle back and forth to town, and the best thing, he added, is “ we shut down at 10 p.m.”', '8.p' => 'Councillors were excited about the prospect and none opposed the proposal. Shannon Baillon, director of community services commented that campers (who sometimes stay for four or five months) would be notified when they applied for permits at the beginning of the season; fencing along the river will go up where alcohol is being served; the boat ramp will be open for day boaters and hopefully Le Boat visitors will take advantage of the docking area.', '9.p' => 'The proposal and recommendations will go to council on Jan. 23. The recommendations are to approve the usage of the front portion of Last Duel Park for the 2018 Ribfest and Music Festival, and to get a budget pre-approval of $7,500 for electrical infrastructure improvements. The estimate for infrastructure at the park is $15,000 and the Rotary Club will provide 50 per cent of that funding .', '10.div' => array( '1.div' => 'Previous Topic:', '2.div' => 'Next Topic:', ), ), '2.div' => array( '1.h3' => 'Leave a Comment', '2.form' => array( '1.p' => 'Name (required)', '2.p' => 'Mail (will not be published) (required)', '3.p' => 'Website', ), ), ), '2.div' => array( 1 => 'Added: January 17th, 2018', 2 => 'Author: RotaryKW', 3 => 'Category:', 4 => ',', ), '3.div' => array( '1.div' => array( '1.h2' => 'Connect with Perth Rotary', '2.div' => 'Stay connected with us via RSS, Facebook and Twitter!', ), '2.div' => array( '1.h2' => 'Archives', '2.label' => 'Archives', '3.select' => array( '1.option' => 'Select Month', '2.option' => 'December 2018', '3.option' => 'June 2018', '4.option' => 'May 2018', '5.option' => 'April 2018', '6.option' => 'February 2018', '7.option' => 'January 2018', '8.option' => 'December 2017', '9.option' => 'November 2017', '10.option' => 'October 2017', '11.option' => 'July 2017', '12.option' => 'June 2017', '13.option' => 'May 2017', '14.option' => 'January 2017', '15.option' => 'July 2016', '16.option' => 'June 2016', '17.option' => 'March 2016', '18.option' => 'February 2016', '19.option' => 'November 2015', '20.option' => 'October 2015', '21.option' => 'August 2015', '22.option' => 'June 2015', '23.option' => 'May 2015', '24.option' => 'April 2015', '25.option' => 'March 2015', '26.option' => 'February 2015', '27.option' => 'January 2015', '28.option' => 'December 2014', '29.option' => 'November 2014', '30.option' => 'October 2014', '31.option' => 'September 2014', '32.option' => 'August 2014', '33.option' => 'July 2014', '34.option' => 'June 2014', '35.option' => 'May 2014', '36.option' => 'April 2014', '37.option' => 'March 2014', '38.option' => 'February 2014', '39.option' => 'January 2014', '40.option' => 'November 2013', '41.option' => 'September 2013', '42.option' => 'August 2013', '43.option' => 'July 2013', '44.option' => 'June 2013', '45.option' => 'May 2013', '46.option' => 'April 2013', '47.option' => 'March 2013', '48.option' => 'January 2013', '49.option' => 'December 2012', '50.option' => 'November 2012', '51.option' => 'October 2012', '52.option' => 'September 2012', '53.option' => 'August 2012', '54.option' => 'July 2012', '55.option' => 'June 2012', '56.option' => 'May 2012', '57.option' => 'April 2012', '58.option' => 'March 2012', '59.option' => 'February 2012', '60.option' => 'January 2012', '61.option' => 'December 2011', '62.option' => 'November 2011', '63.option' => 'October 2011', '64.option' => 'September 2011', '65.option' => 'August 2011', '66.option' => 'July 2011', '67.option' => 'June 2011', '68.option' => 'May 2011', '69.option' => 'April 2011', '70.option' => 'March 2011', '71.option' => 'February 2011', '72.option' => 'January 2011', '73.option' => 'September 2010', '74.option' => 'June 2010', '75.option' => 'September 2008', '76.option' => 'August 2008', ), ), '3.div' => 'Donate to Rotary', ), ), '3.div' => 'Copyright © 2019 Rotary Club of Perth | All rights reserved | Site Design by', ), )
