WAMBO 28 is underway in Wallaceburg, and a full slate of activities are scheduled for Saturday.
Despite some rain showers on Friday evening, the Terry Glover Memorial Car Cruise still took place, Blues on the Rocks provided some tunes from the WAMBO stage and the refreshment tent created a “homecoming reunion” atmosphere for the annual event.
“Today it all comes together, the planning, purpose and all the people who put together this weekend we call WAMBO. So proud of my team… lets roll ,” said Bill Wolsing, chair of WAMBO.
