Our first ever TunaFest at Ballantyne's Cove is a wrap, and I think we can all agree that it was a great success! An event like this takes a ton of planning, a ton of work, and a ton of people! Thank you so much to everyone involved - our dedicated dreaming and planning team, our sponsors and supporters, the vendors and food providers, the dancers and musicians, our emcee Jason Spracklin, Mother Nature, the dozens of volunteers, and the hundreds of people who came out to support the community and enjoy the day. We really couldn't have done it without you! Same time next year? 🐟
