Northern Sunrise County and Town of Peace River are excited to announce their second Concert Series of the summer, featuring Shay Schwerdt.
The Concert Series was created by the two communities as a way to celebrate the beautiful green zones in each municipality, while sharing responsibilities of organizing events and providing a fun activity for residents at no charge.
The event will be held on July 8 at Cecil Thompson Park from 7-8 p.m.
“He’s a great country singer who does a lot of popular covers,” explains Northern Sunrise County Community Services Director Amber Houle.
“He’s a casual country singer who is very upbeat and originally from our area. He also does a lot of the open mic nights at Peace River Brewing.”
Houle says this is the second time Schwerdt has performed at the Concert Series. He also performed at Riverfront Park in the first year that Northern Sunrise County and Peace River teamed up to host the Concert Series.
“It’s a great chance to explore new parks during the summer months,” says Houle.
“Enjoy an hour of free entertainment and enjoy a nice night out that doesn’t cost anything. You can pull up your lawn chair or a blanket and listen to great music.”
Both municipalities work hard all year to find activities members of their communities can participate in without worrying about a financial barrier. Their goal is to provide entertainment and events, wherever possible, at no cost.
For more information, please phone (780) 625-3287 or (780) 624-3204.
“Make sure to bring out the whole family,” says Houle.
“With the concert being at Cecil Thompson Park, there’s something for everyone, even if they don’t feel like listening to music. There’s a jump pillow, a fishing pond and so much more.”
