The Reklaws rocked the Paradise Hill Arena during the Paradise Hill Summer Bash.
The summer bash drew a large crowd as residents from Paradise Hill and the surrounding area packed the arena to see two country performers.
Chelsea Novlan, board member with the Paradise Hill recreation board said that nearly 1,000 people attended the event.
Drew Greggory headlined and closed for the Reklaws during the Saturday night performance.
“It was awesome, Drew Gregory was so much fun,” said Novlan.
The Reklaws, originally from North Dumfries, Ont., put on quite the show for the small Saskatchewan town.
“The Reklaws were so amazing they put on a really good show, they had such a blast playing, they couldn’t believe the show and how a town our size could draw in such a huge crowd it was a great weekend,” said Novlan.
The fundraising event raised money to purchase a new ice plant for the Paradise Hill Arena and curling rink.
The full amount raised from the event is not yet known but the amount raised during the auction which featured tickets to a Jordan Davis concert and a Yeti cooler signed by the Reklaws is.
“We know that we raised $55,000 in the auction, very excited about that we want to thank all the buyers, sponsors, auction donors, volunteers, ball teams attendees, board members, the summer bash this past weekend it was a very successful weekend,” said Novlan.
The auction also featured a Blue Jays game package, Edmonton Oilers tickets and cinnamon buns from Hilltop Sweets.
