Country acts shine as fans energize CCMAs in Saskatoon
While the artists turned it up for Canadian country music’s biggest night, it was the fans who stole the show.
Saskatoon hosted the Canadian Country Music Association awards at a packed SaskTel Centre Sunday. The nationally televised show drew locals and others from across Saskatchewan and Canada.
“We’ve been having a great time checking out Saskatoon – all the restaurants, all the sunshine and the margaritas,” said Pat Labreche, who flew from Vancouver to support her nephew, Jimmy Thow, from the duo Sons of Daughters.
Janelle Olorenshaw drove in an hour and a half from Watrous with her family for the event. She volunteered when Saskatoon first hosted the CCMA awards in 2012 and loved the experience so much, she brought her husband and two daughters to this year’s show.
