Getting ready for concert in Spiritwood, SK

I will use the format that worked so well in the past.
I am hoping to find a person in Spiritwood  to help/guide me in setting up a Venue  (20 to 60 people)
and find local talent willing to show case their skills.
I put all musical programs on as a community service ( Free )
My resent show was in Alliston, Ontario.
 And earlier ones in Toronto, also Bonshaw P.E.I.
My late brother's family lives in the area.

Meet my Vocal coach/teacher at
 her web site   www.RevealYourSong.com
