The Oyen & District Leisure Society (ODLS), in partnership with The Big Country Agricultural Society are excited to welcome Alberta superstar Drew Gregory, to perform ‘live’ in concert for our “Fall ‘Pickle’ Ball” fundraising event on Sat. Oct. 19 2024 at the Crossroads Centre in Oyen, Alta.
Drew Gregory is our entertainer for the evening, not just because he’s a locally sourced superstar talent, but also because he’s a true inspiration.
Hailing from rural Alberta, he’s not just an award-winning country music sensation, but also a farmer. In 2023, he was again named Horizon Male Artist of the Year by Country Music Alberta.
Over his burgeoning career, he’s shared the stage with stars such as Miranda Lambert, Kip Moore, and Old Dominion.
Get ready to dance the night away with a high-energy show from a small-town farm kid who’s more at home on stage than anywhere else!
Doors will open at 5 p.m. along with fun games to play, prizes to be won, and plenty of dance floor to enjoy. There will be a concession booth and bar areas to purchase food or liquor.
Our VIP ticket holders will enjoy a delicious steak supper to be served from 5 – 7 p.m. by The New Brigden Community Association.
The entertainment will begin at 7 p.m., welcoming local talents including Jerilyn Norris and Jessica Bailey as opening acts. Our headliner, Drew Gregory will take the stage at 8 p.m. with an amazing performance of his hit tracks, paired with covers of everyone’s favourite country and rock hits of the past.
Come celebrate your bountiful harvest, with this amazing talent and fun-filled fundraising event!
**VIP Tables will be available for purchase for $1000 (which includes VIP wristbands, premium seats, and steak supper for eight people).
You can contact Jessica Bailey at 403-801-1272 to purchase tickets. (Individual VIP tickets may become available, depending on interest.)
**Regular tickets will be available for purchase for $50 (numbered bleacher seat for concert only). Please contact Jaime Bowles at 403-664-8249 to purchase.
Our mission as a non-profit organization is to help create more leisure activities for the community and surrounding areas.
Our first project of focus is the reconstruction of the town’s outdoor tennis courts into new tennis/pickleball courts.
As you may be aware, pickleball is the fastest growing sport in Canada and is a great activity for all ages.
With help from our local town staff, government grants and years of hardworking individuals fundraising toward this goal, we hope to see demolition of the old court begin in 2025.
A special thanks goes out to The Big Country Agricultural Society, The New Brigden Community Association, Oyen Flower’s & Giftware, Oyen Liquor Mart, Oyen Home Hardware, and all the volunteers and community members that made this evening possible. Thank-you!
