It was nice to have such a diverse audience. We weren鈥檛 sure we could comfortably fit over 400 people in the hall but I think it worked out nicely. I鈥檓 very proud of the volunteers who helped put this on and of our community for 小蓝视频 there to support it. We will certainly look at bringing them back again if there鈥檚 enough interest," she said.
The event was sponsored by the Preeceville and District Health Action Committee. All proceeds will be used towards health care in Preeceville focusing on doctor recruitment and retention, said Strykowski.
The concert style event featured a full bar, coffee and non-alcoholic beverages and 50/50 tickets. A late lunch was provided free of charge after the show.
