Free screening of Tragically Hip concert at South Okanagan Events Centre

PENTICTON – Spectra Venue Management is pleased to announce the South Okanagan Events Centre will be open to the public for a free screening party of “The Tragically Hip: A National Celebration” on August 20 presented by CBC and The Tragically Hip.

“When CBC announced they would be airing the last concert of The Tragically Hip’s Man Machine Poem Tour, we immediately wanted to be a part of it,” explains Carla Seddon, director of marketing for the South Okanagan Events Centre. “No one wants to watch their last concert alone; we’re excited and honoured to host this free public viewing party for the community. Join us as we come together to celebrate one of Canada’s greatest bands The Tragically Hip.”

The Tragically Hip played the SOEC in the summer of 2009 to a sold out crowd.

Although the screening party is free to attend, fans must secure a ticket in order to ensure entry. 

Tickets are available in person at the Valley First Box Office at the SOEC and are offered on a first come, first serve basis. Limit of eight (8) tickets per person.

Doors:  4:30 p.m.            Screening:  5:30 p.m.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
