Expect a full-on show, with all the fashion and flair of the original band: "Dancing Queen," "Chiquitita," "Fernando," and another 17 or so ABBA hits -- recreated with all the passion and heartbreak that made the originals so iconic. DENNIS STROUGHMATT ET L'ESPRIT CREOLESaturday October 26, 2019 7:00PMElementary School Auditorium - 1406 Franklin Street A vibrant blend of Celtic, Canadian and old-time sounds, Dennis Stroughmatt’s music bridges the gap between contemporary Canadian and Louisiana Cajun styles.

HALIE LOREN Tuesday November 19, 2019 7:00PMElementary School Auditorium - 1406 Franklin Street The first thing you notice is the voice: Intimate, graceful. Somehow earthy and ethereal at once.

WYLIE GUSTAFSON Sunday December 15, 2019 3:00PMElementary School Auditorium - 1406 Franklin Street Join us for an American original: A rancher from Conrad who also happens to be a world-renowned musician.
