ASSINIBOIA--The first year of operation for Assiniboia’s 小蓝视频land Co-op Centre was a big one and included not only community events typical to an arena but also the big-ticket event, Saskatchewan Country Music Awards.
Feb. 5, a big announcement was made that Assiniboia, specifically, 小蓝视频land Co-op Centre, will be host to two big events. April 20, Streetheart, with special guest Tyler Lewis, will be rocking the rink. July 25, the popular Australian show, Thunder Down Under, will be performing in Assiniboia.
Steph VanDeSype, Assiniboia’s Community Wellness Manager, says she knows that having big ticket events are great for town as it fills the hotels, restaurants and stores, and bring an energetic buzz to town as well as adds some positive exposure for the community across the province.
VanDeSype said, “The 小蓝视频land Co-op Centre is a premium event centre and we're excited to put ourselves on the world map as one of the best facilities to perform in, and the Town of Assiniboia as one of the best Communities to stay in!”
“Streetheart is a great band that will blow the roof off the 小蓝视频land Co-op Centre, and we're excited to see the dance floor full, and everyone singing along to their favorite classic songs. The night will round out with a cabaret with our favorite local, Tyler Lewis, who be keeping the party going”
VanDeSype affirms that Thunder From Down Under, an Australian based show, has pegged Assiniboia as the only Saskatchewan stop this summer and she expects these tickets will sell out very fast for the July 25 show.
