The Carlyle District Lions Club is hosting a huge event on Oct. 21 at the Arcola Prairie Place Complex.
This family event will begin at 6:30 p.m. with supper being catered by Weyburn Kentucky Fried Chicken, and the entertainment will follow.
The entertainment will be performed by Bromantics, a well-known band that is based in Moose Jaw.
According to Tim Sedor, a Lions member and the organizer, he would be thrilled to see 300 people attend, and the event is open to all ages, although minors will need to be accompanied by an adult.
The Bromantics were scheduled to perform this past spring, but had to cancel the day of, which left Sedor scrambling for another band. The event was still successful, even with the last-minute issues.
“This is a family, Halloween-themed event with decorations that will be hung throughout the complex,” said Sedor.
Prizes will be given for best costume, so Sedor suggests that people come dressed up to make the event more entertaining.
There will also be a 50-50 draw, along with a raffle table full of items.
The proceeds from the event will go into the club’s general fund and used where it is needed.
In the past month, the Carlyle District Lions Club donated $5,000. to the Carlyle Public Library to purchase new books.
Another project, which was in conjunction with Carlyle Minor Baseball and some local businesses, saw improvements at the ball parks. This project was $67,000. According to Sedor, Carlyle has some amazing ball parks now.
The evening should prove to be a great one, according to Sedor.
The Bromantics is a 1950s and 1960s-style band with a twist. They love to add an element of comedy to their acts.
The sound system is not overbearing, so people can still socialize while listening to their music.
The band consists of six members. Robert Haakenson is on guitar and vocals, Gregg Gouer on keys, Justin Hauck on drums, Jim Mitchell supplies bass and vocals, while Kurt Gillet plays the saxophone and provides vocals. The lead singer is Tim Lynchuk.
The band began in 2013, offering a fun and entertaining performance. They also add their own original pieces, which they have recorded.
