18th Annual Invitational Golf Tournament
Niagara Falls, On. - August 20th, 2019.
On Tuesday August 20th, R.I.B.A. once again held its annual event in Niagara Falls Ontario. Some would call it a golf event, but we would like to refer to it as an “opportunity” for our members to mingle with various manufacturers, distributors and of course our team. This year’s event proved to be one of our best, according to the comments we’ve received from attendees, as we included sampling from Aryzta, Molson’s, Sleeman Breweries, Canada Bread, Fresh Start Foods, Kraft Heinz, Pepsico Foodservice and The Butcher Shoppe
Golfers had a gorgeous day to take on the forgiving, yet picturesque Thundering Waters Golf Course. The event went off without a hitch.
A big thank you to the Butcher Shoppe, Canada Bread, and Fresh Start Foods for providing items for the Hospitality Hole mid-round. Kudos to Chef Gary Beynon from Doc Magilligan's for a great mid round meal and dinner.
Once again, we would like to thank everyone who participated and shared in the festivities. Best Western Cairn Croft proved to be a great property for our guest accommodations.
