This is an official invitation to attend the Esquimalt Ribfest 2016 as a Ribfest judge.
We are very excited and proud of the Festival Twinning we have enjoyed with Port Angeles. The
successes you have had with your wonderful Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival over the years are a
great example of what a community can do when everyone pulls together and we are hopeful we can be
even moderately as successful with our Ribfest up in Esquimalt.
Your attendance would be required on Saturday, September 101h from approximately 4-6PM and you
would be part of a seven person panel of celebrity judges including our Military Base Commander, Police
Inspector, Mayor of Esquimalt Barbara Desjardins, yourself and reps from TV, Radio and our local paper.
We know sipping wonderful Canadian Beer (or some nice non-alcoholic beverage if you like) and eating
some of the finest ribs in the world is an onerous political task, but we sincerely hope you are again able
to carry the torch for your lovely City.
Please let us know as soon as possible so we can start wafting the smell of BBQ Ribs across the Strait of
Juan de Fuca and get some of our American cousin's mouths watering.
Yours in Ribs!

Dear Mayor Downie:
On behalf of the Township of Esquimalt, I wish to extend an invitation to attend the festivities at
Ribfest in Esquimalt on September 9, 10, and 11th, 2016.
Last year's event was enjoyed by over 40,000 people who delighted in the tastes and aromas of
World famous ribbers from the United States and Canada.
In addition to the amazing BBQ delights being offered, this family fun -filled weekend includes
something for everyone: live music, entertainment, activities for children of all ages, adult
beverage garden, vendors, artisans, and of course, those spectacular RIBS!
A Classic Car Show, with classic rides from the 20's to the 80's featuring vehicles from WW2, will
be part of Ribfest this year on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Professional ribbers from Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan and British Columbia will be competing
in this year's event for bragging rights to the best ribs, chicken and sauce.
As recognition of promoting cross border relationships, the Township of Esquimalt wishes to
request our Municipal flag, as presented last year, be flown in Port Angeles in the week leading
up to Ribfest. The Township would reciprocate by flying the City of Port Angeles flag in
Esquimalt in the week leading up to Crabfest. The purpose of the flag exchange is to promote
and encourage community participation in the two festivals.
The Township of Esquimalt looks forward to a happy and long standing relationship with the City
of Port Angeles, Washington, benefitting both our communities through these fun and exciting
community celebrations.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Respectfully,
Barbara Desjardins
Mayor
