RED ROCK, ON– The 2013 Canada Day celebrations were a huge success. Festivities were held at the beautiful Red Rock Marina where the day started with a delicious brunch hosted by the Red Rock Royal Canadian Legion. The afternoon events began with the singing of O’Canada lead by Madeleine Sheriff followed by a bike rodeo hosted by the OPP and Epic Adventures. The Red Rock Fire Brigade held thier annual BBQ for the Muscular Dystrophy Society; the “Big Boot” was graciously filled by Red Rock and areas generous residents attending the celebration. Supper was finished off with a delicious Canada Day cake baked and decorated by Roselee Belanger for all in attendance to enjoy.

Their were games for children and adults of all ages, with many prizes awarded to the children who participated. The Red Rock Historical Society hosted a Delectable Dessert Auction with 17 desserts to bid on while various vendors also had booths for people to browse their wares. The live entertainment began at 7:30pm as local artists took the stage under the band stand to sing and play their instruments. The Movie in the Park was great though there were some not-so-welcome guests who attended (aka: mosquitoes).

The day ended with a fantastic fireworks display organized by the Red Rock Volunteer Fire Brigade lasted nearly a half hour!
