the best PROJECT we've undertaken

Niverville YFC can truly say we were so blessed to have Project 86 come out from California to rock out with us (aka perform a musical concert) Friday night of the Fair. The show was full of incredible energy, and connected so well with the youth - regardless of where they were coming from.

Not only were we blessed, but so was the band. We found a post online from them shortly after the show:
" Absolutely PERFECT show tonight. Niverville, Winnipeg, and surrounding regions...thank you for helping us have one of the best shows in the history of our band!"
The tide is turning within the youth...where they can look forward to meaningful events and experiences at the Fair, rather than going on a few rides and making up their own experiences themselves (which end up being the same old drinking parties for many of our youth). It's interesting to see how our community can have an impact on how our young people plan out their activities on such an epic weekend in their lives as the Niverville Fair. We at YFC have taken serious note of this oppotunity, not that Project 86 was the major factor, but that we as a community are moving forward with this PROJECT.

Thanks so much to our wonderful community, who opened their doors, opened the stage, opened their hearts, and opened their wallets to make this experience a reality.
