The Big Daddy Festival has now come and gone. After months of planning events the weekend event in Halton Hills was a success. This is the only Festival in all of Canada that is dedicated to Father's Day.
Kudos to all of the volunteers who planned all the events. I saw countless volunteers, you couldn't miss them with their Big Daddy t-shirts, handing out brochures. Beatrice Sharkey and Laurent Thibault did an amazing job quarter backing this event. They were like City Pulse TV, they were everywhere.
The weekend was a blur for my wife Josey and I as there were so many events to go to. We were well fed from the Taste of Acton and the movie in the park was like being at the drive-in without a car. The chill zone in down town Georgetown was also a busy place all weekend.
Of course, Classics Against Cancer was a huge draw as well as the Show and Shine for Autism which featured close to 200 motorcycles.
Councillor Bob Inglis did a great job at the annual Father's Day service in the Glen. Williams Mill was also a bee hive of activity. I missed the father's and son's street hockey game but I heard it went very well. It was a real opportunity to show case Halton Hills.
I know the creative juices are flowing and there will be many more ideas that will come out for next year's event. The brochure listing all of the events and locations was excellent. I can really see this event growing and Halton Hills being the place to be on Father's Day. This well run weekend was full of activities for everyone and can only get better next year.
See you next year!
