Hugh McLennan, Matt Johnston, Butch Falk and special guests old friends, Colin Williams and Doug Hatheway will be performing at the North Thompson Fall Fair Hall on Saturday afternoon December 9 at 1:00 p.m.

Hugh’s knack for setting the stage, connecting with the audience and presenting the performers in the best possible light has kept him in wide demand as a professional emcee for events all over North America. With his ol’ guitar and an amazing collection of songs, poems and stories Hugh has entertained audiences from theaters in Branson, Missouri to campfires and trail rides in the Canadian west.

McLennan is among that elite group and his voice is instantly recognizable to anyone who listens to local radio. Along with producing his syndicated Spirit of the West show and doing radio and television commercials, McLennan has travelled all over North America as a sought-after live entertainer, singing, telling stories and reciting his poems.
