It’s time to mark your calendars so you don’t miss this event.  The Enforcers are back to bringing you a fantastic night of dancing to help raise funds for mentoring programs in our community. The rare appearance by The Enforcers is taking place on Saturday April 21, 2018 at the Victoria Park Armoury 210 Kent St. West in Lindsay at 8:00 pm. Tickets are $15 each and are available at the Big Brother Big Sister office, A Buy & Sell Shop and The Pita Pantry/Common Grounds during the preceding weeks of the Dance. The Enforcers provide a great mix of blues based music that will keep you on the dance floor all night.  Everyone that attends will also have the chance to win a door prize.

Doug Saunders of The Enforcers says “We cover Eric Clapton, George Thorogood, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bob Marley, Howlin Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, The Temptations, The Rolling Stones. etc. Let’s say the blues sound that originated in Mississippi, Texas and Chicago, then throw in some Motown, Rhythm and Blues, Boogie and Reggae.” Food will also be available through a food vendor; Sugar & Spice Catering has come on board to prepare a variety of items for people to purchase.

All proceeds from this event will stay in our community which helps Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kawartha Lakes-Haliburton address the ongoing funding challenges the organization has in providing mentoring programs.  This support allows children and youth, who can benefit from a friendship with a caring adult mentor, the opportunity to access these valuable programs.
