"It's been a very, very busy run," says Allard. "We're in Winnipeg for two shows as well. We're packing up immediately after the 7:30 show and we are heading to Portage la Prairie for the 17th. Again, we will be doing two shows for Portage la Prairie: 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. as well."

Allard says the show's got a change compared to last year's event, with a couple more acts that are highly entertaining. He adds he can't tell us what they are, but if you come out you're sure to enjoy the evening.
