ESTEVAN - For the first time since 2016, the Wa-Wa Temple 小蓝视频east Shrine Club is bringing entertainment to Estevan.

Global FMX will perform on June 3 at 1 and 5 p.m. at Affinity Place. Gene Davis with the Shrine Club said the performers do flips and jumps on dirt bikes to the delight of the crowd.

"They're talented young guys," said Davis. "It's a fairly popular style of show. Dirt bikes will be roaring and they'll be running around doing flips. They'll actually be jumping a couple of pieces of equipment in the arena that they set up between ramps."

This is the first time that FMX has been in Estevan to Davis' knowledge.

Also, a kids' show named Wet and Wild will be set up in the Estevan Leisure Centre's courtyard, which Davis said will feature different fun activities for kids involving water. It will run from noon to 5 p.m. For a $10 wristband, Davis said children can enjoy a variety of activities.

A couple of food trucks have committed to be part of the event as well.

Every child 14 and under in the Estevan area is going to receive a free ticket to watch the Global FMX show, Davis said. The passes were to be distributed through the schools. Adults will have to pay $30.

A Kawasaki dirt bike will be raffled off, and there will be a 50-50 draw for each show.

Traditionally the Shrine Club brought a circus to Estevan, but Davis said they have had to look elsewhere for a fundraising show. Their last event was a circus that involved horses and acrobats in 2016.

Proceeds from the Global FMX show will go towards Shrine activities. They fund patient transportation to and from their hospital in Montreal, as well as the operations at the hospital.

"We have to raise a little more than $30 US per second, 365 days per year, to keep the hospitals running," said Davis.

The hospitals are a service that the Shriners provide for specific needs of children ages 18 and under. They have helped those with brittle bone disease, klepht lips, burns and more.

Davis said they are looking forward to having a community event once again.

"The whole club, we're all looking forward to it," said Davis. "We've been working hard for it for several months."
