ASSINIBOIA - Announced early in 2024, the Southland Co-op Centre will be host to the popular band, Streetheart, April 20 in Assiniboia.
Stephanie VanDeSype, Recreation and Community Wellness Manager for Assiniboia, said the concert is half sold out and they would love to see the venue full. “This is a major fundraiser for the Southland Co-op Centre. We use these funds to help offset the cost of running a state-of-the-art facility. Supporting the fundraiser helps to ensure that the walking track, public skating and shinny, and other events remain free of charge. We love that we can offer so many amenities to the public for free,” said VanDeSype.
At this point, Assiniboia has noticed that many of the tickets are out-of-town sales, accounting for many of them being visitors who will be travelling in to see the big show. Organizers said they hope that sales skyrocket as well in the last couple weeks leading up to the concert.
“The public requested classic rock; we are excited to bring such a big-name band to Assiniboia.”
Also being held on April 20 will be the volunteer recognition brunch to be hosted by the Town of Assiniboia. There are no other events or activities planned to coincide with the Streetheart concert.
Big ticket events like these will not only benefit the fundraising efforts for Southland Co-op Centre but offers a big boost to the local economy as visitors visit Assiniboia’s shopping opportunities, restaurants, accommodations and likely fuel and food purchases.
