Food Day 2003 Word Cloud
The 2003 Word Cloud (created from the postings of participants in 2003’s “World’s Longest BBQ”) shows a heavy emphasis on Canadian Beef. This goes to show that Canadians are passionate about their farmers and will gather together on a moment’s notice to support each other in times of crisis.
