More than 100 people came out to listen to some famaliar and some new talent at the Cut Knife Community Centre on April 22. In total close to 20 individuals and groups partici- pated in the annual event. Most of the talent took advantage of the karaoke for back up, supplied by Core Sound, while a few brought their own instruments. Sponsors for this year were Cut Knife Innovation Credit Union and Crop Production Services. In addition to the performances there was also a cash bar, lunch, 50/50 draw and a dance with music again supplied by Core Sound. Plans are already underway for the 2018 event! The Courier extends thanks to Lorie Gibson for the photos of all the performers.
