The Fonthill Lions Club is hosting SLIDERFEST, its largest fundraiser for local Community Service. This is the third annual event which sold out the past two years. It is a competition between five local chefs/slider masters for the best tasting slider which is voted on by people in attendance. Back by popular demand are live music by the Rhythm Hounds, a retro play family zone run by Cabar-eh!, silent auction, raffle table, 50/50 and grand prize raffle for a Traeger BBQ donated by Enviro-Niagara. Early bird tickets up until July 31 are $30 ($35 thereafter), include entry, one of each of the five sliders, fresh corn, fries and a non-alcoholic beverage. Entrance for kids under 12 is free and there will be a lot of fun games and prizes. We attract many intergenerational family groups who come and “stake out their space” with their own lawn chairs and tents.
There is a ten-ticket package price of $275 (20% off regular ticket price). Tickets and information at www.sliderfest.ca.
