By Mark McMillan The 13th Annual Cariboo Country Night was once again an awesome evening at Watch Lake on Sept. 8. It was just plain fun. In order to raise funds for area promotion, the Watch Lake/Green Lake Resort, Guest Ranch, and Business Association put this event on every year, and every year it adds new faces to the entertainment lineup. This year Leslie Ross was the new face, and Matt Johnston returned after numerous years of not being there. Ernie Doyle is the annual crowd favourite. It was great to see Matt back and even better to hear him sing again. The audience loved him, and anyone who has heard Matt
before knows why. His song-writing abilities leave the audience in complete silence as he performs with both his guitar and his harmonica. Leslie has an amazing voice and a great long list of songs. Her beautiful guitar picking is as good to watch as it is to hear, and her song choices fit the night to a tee. I have the feeling she’ll be back. Ernie brought his big, boomin’ voice back again for the 13th consecutive time and the crowd loved it, for the 13th time in a row. Ernie picks the audience’s favourite songs and does a fine job of getting everyone to sing along. Now, put the above three together on

the same stage, clear some tables out of the middle of the dance floor, and let the fun begin. And that it did, as the dance floor was packed, and even after the great barbecue steak dinner that was served folks still showed off their energy and dancing skills. You’d have thought that these three had played together before, and had even been practising for weeks. Everything just clicked and the crowd loved them. The Bovine Bingo was a big hit again this year, with Clive French taking home an extra $595. It’s hard to believe, but Clive won this bingo last year, too. I can’t wait for next year, and the 14th Annual Cariboo Country Night.
