The La Glace & District Agricultural Society and Big Country 93.1 present:
SMALL TOWN BRINGDOWN
Celebrating 100 Years in La Glace
The Washboard Union, Charlie Major, and Matt Patershuk
Saturday, May 5, 2018 - 7:30 PM
Brought to you by The County of Grande Prairie No. 1 and Capstan Hauling Ltd.
Reveling from the success of the Big Valley Jamboree Small Town Saturday Night Concert in La Glace in April, the Ag Society has decided to hold an annual concert in the Hamlet to raise funds for the construction and operation of the organization’s recreational facilities.
The La Glace & District Ag Society looks forward to bringing another musical event to The County of Grande Prairie No. 1. The Small Town Bringdown will be a show for all ages that the Ag Society hopes will draw residents from all over the county who may not otherwise visit the hamlet of La Glace. As was the case with the Small Town Saturday Night Concert in April, the size of the current facility limits the number of tickets available, an obstacle that the Ag Society aims to overcome with the construction of the new Regional Recreation Centre in La Glace.
The 2018 Small Town Bringdown will feature headliners and 2017 CCMA Roots Group of the Year The Washboard Union, Canadian country music legend Charlie Major and La Glace’s own Matt Patershuk.
