R MIKE MCLELLAN OTARY CLUB OF COBOURG, HARBOURARTS CHAIR WHAT’S ONE UNEXPECTED THING THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE FESTIVAL? The weather! It’s the one thing we can’t control and the one thing we always have to be ready for. Whether it’s a sudden downpour, unexpected heat, or wild wind, it keeps us on our toes every year. IF YOU COULD ONLY ENJOY ONE PART OF THE FESTIVAL ALL WEEKEND, WHAT WOULD IT BE? The midway. It brings out the kid in everyone. The lights, the sounds, the energy—it’s the heartbeat of the festival for many. HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU BEEN ON THE COMMITTEE PLANNING THE COBOURG WATERFRONT FESTIVAL? 11 years. Mike has been a dedicated part of the team for over a decade, and his work—especially on the electrical side of things—is a big reason why the festival runs so smoothly behind the scenes. ROTARY HARBOURARTS Get ready to explore, discover, and be inspired!
