Thanks to the generous support of Ritchie Bros, anyone can bid on silent auction items remotely by downloading their app.

"Quonset Days has grown tremendously over the past 13 years, and we are thrilled to continue supporting ALS research," said Trevor Biemans, Co-Founder and son of Peter Biemans. "It's truly heartwarming to see my farm yard transformed into music festival grounds, all in honor of my dad. My family and our volunteer board look forward to welcoming everyone to the farm for a weekend of music, fun, and making a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS.”

About ALS:
June is ALS Awareness Month, a time dedicated to increasing awareness of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) and honoring those affected by it. ALS is a devastating disease that gradually robs individuals of their ability to control their bodies, leaving them fully dependent on others while retaining their sense of touch and mental alertness. After a hard-fought battle with ALS, Peter Biemans passed away in 2009. Watching Peter, an outgoing and active individual, become confined to a body he could no longer control was heart-wrenching for all who knew him. Quonset Days was established in his
memory, aiming to raise funds and awareness to combat this relentless disease.
About ALS Awareness Month:
June is ALS Awareness Month, dedicated to raising awareness about the devastating impact of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). This progressive motor neuron disease robs individuals of their physical abilities while leaving their mental faculties intact. With approximately 3,000 Canadians living with ALS, the month serves as a reminder of the urgent need for research, care, and support for those affected by this relentless condition.
