Can you find yourself in this sea of faces?
Close to 7,500 people packed into the main beach area at Clear Lake for the free outdoor Sierra Noble-Doc Walker concert Aug. 21. The event was part of Riding Mountain National Park’s Manitoba Homecoming 2010 celebrations.
"The weekend was an overwhelming success with visitors of all ages enjoying events," Kevin Bachewich, a communication officer with the park and one of the event organizers, told the Neepawa Banner. "The concert attracted locals, new visitors and people who haven’t been here for years."
The concert is possibly the largest attended event ever held in the park.
And did the performers enjoy playing for masses assembled on the lake shore?
"We thought we had played everywhere in Manitoba," Dave Wasyliw, of the country band Doc Walker, said following the Saturday night concert. "How could we have forgotten Clear Lake? And after tonight it will never be forgotten again! What a great venue!"
In an email to the Banner, fiddle player Sierra Noble said she had "an amazing time" at the concert.
"It was honestly one of the best shows I’ve been part of," she writes. "Such an incredible location, great sound, amazing crowd and so well put together. Congrats on putting on a fantastic event! I will come back anytime."
The business community was pretty happy as well.
"We went through a lot of ice cream on our busiest day ever," said Sandra Schwetz of the Boardwalk.
"The response all day was incredible, people were commenting on how thay had never seen so many people in their 60 years of visiting the park."
