Friday evening is going to be a fun filled evening for the whole family, starting at 7pm. We have Micheal and Jacob Harris coming from Winnipeg performing some amazing dancing.

Even through Barrows has a total population of only 100 residence, it’s amazing that this small community is able to put on a music camp equivalent to any other, host concerts every evening that rival many country festivals with outstanding energy and such a variety of entertainment. It’s only because of their dedicated planning committee, numerous volunteers and committed instructors who have returned each year to instruct.
