On Feb. 13, folks you can enjoy a three-hour concert of some of the best family oriented western entertainment around at Martin Exeter Hall.
There are two shows to choose from – a 2 p.m. matinee and a 7 p.m. performance. The shows are the same and people can go to either one for $15 per person.
Alan Moberg, Wesley Harditsy, Bernadette Ducharme, and Frank Gleeson will be the entertainers this year.
(Jason Ruscheinsky and Leslie Ross will not be playing as was noted in the photo caption on page A16 of the 100 Mile House Free Press.)
Alan is known for his songs about British Columbia, including the theme song for the Williams Lake Stampede and the Ashcroft Rodeo song.
Frank is known as the fastest and funniest cowboy poet around and he will no doubt have the audience in stitches.
Bernadette is an upcoming singer/song writer with a great voice. She is compiling songs from some of B.C.’s favourite cowboy poets like Bruce Rolph and Mag Mawhinney.
Wesley is a guy that everyone wants to hear … with some good old fiddle tunes! He is one of the favourite performers and top CD sellers at past Kamloops Cowboy Festivals.
All proceeds from the concert go towards the BC Cowboy Heritage Society scholarships and the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame.
Tickets are available at Work n Play Clothing, 100 Mile Feed & Farm Supplies and PMT Chartered Professional Accountants, or if you’re from out of town, phone 1-888-763-2221.
Mark McMillan is the key organizer of the Cowboy Concert.
