Rotary event offers poutine, pints and plaid

Poutine, Pints & Plaid is back for an eighth year.

The event will take place on Friday, Feb. 7 (7pm) at the Education Centre Cafeteria (100 College Drive). 

All proceeds will go to support area food banks and other Rotary projects.

“We are so excited to support such a worthy cause within the community and love that we can also play a part in keeping Poutine, Pints, & Plaid a fun event for everyone to attend,” says Jonathan Jolkowski, president of the Nipissing Rotary Club.

Along with an all you can eat gourmet poutine bar, there will be DJ entertainment and dancing, some games and plaid décor.

This event was initially established by the Rotaract Club of North Bay Nipissing, which ceased operations last year.

Officials with the Rotary Club of Nipissing say they’re honoured to carry on the tradition of the highly anticipated community event.

Past projects supported by Rotary include the Splashpad and Playground, the North Bay Humane Society expansion, Clean, Green, Beautiful North Bay and more.

Tickets to the 19+ event are $40 or $35 for students and can be purchased by emailing nipissing.rotary.ppp@gmail.com.

Donations for the university and college food banks will also be collected at the door.
