Volunteer and Information Quinte is celebrating a big anniversary of their largest fundraiser annually.
Dancing with the Stars Quinte is celebrating 10 years. From humble beginnings of a few hundred gathered in a hotel ballroom, to the Yardmen Arena, to Wellington’s Essroc Arena, the event continues to grow.
