CRE brings Bavarian Exposition to city By Murray Green
The Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE) will be hosting an Oktoberstock, a Bavarian Exposition, which will be held outdoors on the grounds on September 18. Oktoberstock is a twist on the traditional German Oktoberfest with a full day of activities that promote the diversity of the community of Camrose and the region. The event will also feature a number of fantastic live performers including Brabec Brothers, Mourning Wood, Metis Child and Family Jiggers, Off the Rails, Battle River’s Got Talent performers and The Borch Brothers. Beer and Cider enthusiasts can sample the best in local fare from Bent Stick Brewing and True North Cider. “We’re really excited about hosting Oktoberstock,” said CRE president, Brent Byers. “It represents one of the first opportunities for the community to reconnect, and come together and celebrate. Safety has been top of mind in our planning, and we just want everyone to come out, let their hair down and enjoy themselves in a fun, safe and family friendly environment.” Tickets can be purchased through the CRE website or on Eventbrite.

The Rose City Roots Music Society will be launching its fall season with the Blue Moon Marquee band at 8 p.m. on September 10 at the Bailey Theatre. The swinging blues band started in Alberta, but they currently make their home in British Columbia. A.W. Cardinal (vocals/guitar) and Jasmine Colette (vocals/bass/ drums) write and perform
original compositions influenced by anything that swings, jumps or grooves. Artists such as Lonnie Johnson, Louis Armstrong, Blind Willie Jonson, Charley Patton, Howlin’ Wolf, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Tom Waits, Memphis Minnie and Django Reinhardt are deeply infused in the soul of their music. Blue Moon Marquee released its third CD, Bare Knuckles & Brawn, on their own label.
