Steve Fabro -MC
We are delighted to welcome Steve Fabro as Master of Ceremonies for this year’s Dancing with the Shuswap Stars fundraiser.
Steve is a familiar and trusted voice at community and sporting events throughout the region. Over the years, he has served as MC for numerous high-profile events, including the Rotary District Conference, the BC Volunteer Firefighters Spring Seminar, the Salty Dog Enduro Mountain Bike Race, and the BC Midget Nordic Championships at Larch Hills. Known for his quick wit, engaging personality, and ability to keep audiences informed and entertained, Steve brings energy and professionalism to every event he hosts.
While Steve enjoys dancing with his wife, Sharon, he is quick to admit that he has never competed in a dance competition or tried his hand at choreography. But as they say, there’s a first time for everything!
When he’s not behind a microphone, you’ll likely find Steve mountain biking, Nordic skiing, or fly fishing in the beautiful outdoors. Thankfully, we were able to convince him to trade the trails and fishing rod for the spotlight this evening. He is proud to support this fundraiser and the important community causes it benefits.
Please join us in welcoming Steve Fabro!
