The organizers of the Lions Head
Country Music Festival in Northern Bruce Peninsula were abuzz with
excitement today after accepting a $15,000 cheque from the Ontario
Trillium Foundation (OTF). Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MPP Bill Murdoch joined the Rotary Club of Lion’s Head to officially congratulate them on their new grant, as OTF representative Bill Walker presented the group with a plaque from the Foundation. “Events such as this one create a significant economic benefit for the area. This is going to be a great festival and people are going to come out and have a great time,” said Murdoch. The OTF grant will be used to promote the annual Lion's Head Country Music Festival scheduled for August 20 to 22nd. Funding will also support the rental of sound equipment and help to ensure the success of the festival. Led by dedicated volunteers, the festival’s reach grows each year, as people from both the surrounding communities and U.S.A. head to Lion’s Head for the three-day celebration. “Our Rotary Club is pleased to be able to carry forward this annual Country Music Festival, which is such an important event in our community,” said Jack Hall, chairman of the festival committee. “We appreciate the financial support which this grant from the OTF provides to this venture.”
