Sam Steele Days Central Fairgrounds will proudly feature
local artists on both Saturday June 20th and Sunday June 21st. The beautiful outdoor venue in Rotary Park
Downtown Cranbrook will vibrate with the enchanting melodies and gyrations of musicians, singers and dancers
plus a musical story-teller and the silly antics of Ronald Mc Donald.
Popular favourites returning to perform for the thousands of
attendees will be; The Kimberley Pipe Band joined by Liela Cooper’s Highland Dancers, Trena Spears,
Stages School of Dance, The Pickups (Golden BC) and The Royal Stewart Highland Dancers.
Newcomers who will experience Cranbrook’s exceptional
hospitality are: The Kootenay Dance Academy as well as young singers Cassandra Bell and Amanda Spears.
Although Dean Smith has contributed in previous years as the Music Director/Instructor with the Kootenay
Christian Academy Jazz Band, this year he performs original compositions as a Story-Teller with guitar
accompaniment.
On Saturday June 20th, live entertainment of the Community
Talent Showcase will begin on Rotary Stage at 11:45am hosted for the first time by Emily Balfour. Sam
Steele Showcase sponsor, Martech Electrical Systems Ltd. represented by Ilana Pretoruis says, "We’ve always
maintained that what’s good for Cranbrook, is good for us. Sam Steele Days gives energy to the beginning of
summer, and as sponsors, we look forward to the vibrancy the Community Talent Showcase will bring to the
place we all live, work and do business in."
Performers will deliver an amazing variety show on Sunday
June 21st beginning at 9AM until 3:30PM with host Matt Van Boeyen, (The Drive FM 99.1/102.9 radio). Nikki
Gipman joined the Sam Steele Society in 2014 and is proud to be the Director of Sunday in the Park. “I’m excited
to be expanding the Sunday festivities and stage show to include an array of local musicians, dancers and
performers.” Nikki earned her Bachelor’s degree in Theatre Management and strongly believes in supporting local
artists. “Salvador Ready Mix Concrete is a proud sponsor of the Sam Steele Days festival. Please
join us at our 2nd Annual Salvador Sunday in the Park Show – it’s a great event for the whole family”, invites
General Manager, Lorne Isberg.
Exciting improvisational theatre welcomes the public on June
20th at the Studio/Stage Door between 1-4PM with entertainers all in character circa 1890 – 1910. “Miss
Melodie’s School for Fine Young Ladies” will have some of the past Sam Steele Sweetheart candidates posing as
graduates, ushering you in and serving home-made pie and sweet tea while you enjoy the performers of
this all acoustic show.
Add that to AM Music’s Open Mic/Jam session across the
street from the Studio/Stage Door on 11th Avenue and it can clearly be proclaimed that there has never before
been a greater opportunity to enjoy local talent.
