Just as Louis Riel Day was marked across Canada yesterday, a celebration of the protector of Métis rights and one of the Fathers of Confederation was held at the Sunset Country Métis Hall here.
More than 120 people turned out to enjoy a buffet supper, including moose roast donated by Captain of the Hunt Dean McMahon, as well as hear and dance to music performed by district entertainers.
Musical entertainment was provided by Justin Boshey and Elmer and Clifford Whitefish, who got some folks jigging and square-dancing for several songs.
Eric Fagerdahl, Ericka Tymkin, Abbey Calder, “Intirely Mac” (Wayne and Danette MacIntyre), the “Sunset Country Chicks” (Brittany Hayes, Charity Rose, and Sandra Allan), and “Distant Legacy Band” (Justin Boshey, Mark Beachey, Brian Kabatay and Glen Tower) also took to the stage.
