2016 Rock the Blocs Wrap-up with Andy White
Very excited to share a recap of last weeks Rock the Bloc event by Andy White.
Rock the Blocs 2016 is in the books and although the weather hampered the event a bit, once again, the festival was a massive success. This year, more than 200 people attended RTB with strong crews traveling from Vancouver, Calgary, Lethbridge, all over the Okanagan, the U.S. and even Mexico. The event has truly jumped beyond its humble local beginnings. Add in to the mix the fact that this year’s field of competitors was stacked, and it made for an entertaining competition.
