ESTEVAN - The Estevan Lions Club is bringing the Sirens Dueling Pianos concert to the Estevan Exhibition Hall on Oct. 6.
The event - which will start with cocktails at 5:30 p.m., followed by supper catered by A Little Taste of Heaven at 6:30 p.m. and then the entertainment - will be the beginning of the Lions' major fundraising campaign to upgrade the outdoor rink at Rusty Duce Playpark.
Travis Olver, who is the Lions' past president and the chair of the fundraising committee and the rink upgrade committee, said as of Sept. 28, they've sold just over 200 tickets. The maximum capacity for the event is 250 people, and the club hopes to sell out by Oct. 5.
The Sirens Dueling Pianos concert will feature Kylee Carver of Fillmore and Jacquie Walbaum of Forget. It is Saskatchewan's only all-female dueling piano pair. Described as feisty, fun and phenomenally talented, Walbaum and Carver have combined their powerhouse vocals and musicianship to bring the public a multi-genre sing-along party.
"The Sirens sound like they're a lot of fun, and local talent is always good to support," Olver said.
"It will just be a nice evening out, a nice meal and great entertainment. Come out, bring your significant other, bring friends and have some fun."
All proceeds from the event will go towards turning the Rusty Duce Rink, which Lions take care of every year, into a permanent facility. The Mercury and Â鶹´«Ã½AV will have more on the project in the upcoming weeks.
Tickets are $65 per ticket or $600 per table of 10 and are available at Senchuck Ford, McComb Automotive or by contacting Olver at 306-421-9626.
