ers in the band, and they got back to me right away. They were quite happy to be playing in Moose Jaw.” Peterman and his wife are part of a sizable group of Canadians who visit the Puerto Vallarta area during the winter months. “I’ve seen this band in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and my wife and I really liked them,” said Peterman. “They were making a tour up here in Western Canada, so I got in contact with them and took it to the board. They all agreed that we should get them here in Moose Jaw to play for a night.” “They love Canada too, and they love to travel up here,” he added, noting that the local reception has been great for the various Mexico-based performers. “What’s happened is back before COVID-19, there were lots of Canadians at Puerto Vallarta and they get friendly with these guys.

The Cosmo Senior Centre has a kitchen that will be staffed by volunteers during the show, and there will be a fully stocked bar available. There are no outside vendors registered to attend yet, but Peterman mentioned that any interested parties are welcome to contact the Cosmo Senior Centre and apply. Any potential vendors are reminded to act fast as the concert is scheduled for August 8.
