Meantime, organizers are benefiting from a $1000 sponsorship from J. Quaglia Law to support the entertainment, provided by Summit Shows Canada.
“RetroFest has been a family favourite since our kids were in grade school,” Jon Quaglia says. “RetroFest is an excellent event that highlights what is great about our community and we are happy to contribute.”
