Beyond 2012...

A note from the board and staff of the Mateel Community Center:

We are also thrilled to announce that we recently entered into a contract with French's Camp, the original venue for Reggae On The River™ for its first 20+ years, and are working diligently to see the event return home in 2013 and beyond. Though the Benbow location has served us well, all of us at the Mateel Community Center would like to thank you for your support and patience in recent years as we worked to return the show to its rightful home and reclaim the great Reggae On The River™ tradition. We couldn't be happier to announce that things are finally coming full circle and that there is light at the end of this tunnel. So please bear with us over the next few weeks as we solidify details for the 2012 event and know that your support this year will help us take Reggae On The River™ home in 2013 and beyond!
