Even legends have problems. Above, wild Pacos Bill has a serious conversation with his catfish-riding wife (whom, we gather, he was obliged to shoot after she rode his steed and who buck blasted her into outerspace). A sold out crowd responded in kind to some outlandish and risque comedy at the Valemount Legion on Friday Night. Midway through, not everybody got the transition from brilliant and hysterical to brilliantly sorrowful, however. The series of love-themed skits were the type of awesome we’re used to seeing from director Sharon Stearns and the Robson Valley Theatre Collective.
Sarah McCrea plays a bartender with attitude and substandard accounting practices. Tired of the same old lines, this barkeep has got problems too, and given the right (plump) set of circumstances, he’s willing to try something new. Even at the expense of heartbroken fool played by Ben Coyle. If you have not taken in the play, get to it March 8, 9, 10th at the McBride Grizzly Pub. For people who like fun, it’s genius. / ANDRU MCCRACKEN

The Canoe Valley Skating Club Carnival themed ‘Under the Big Top’ featured many talented skaters and an amazing Vancouver based skater, Jana De Jong, but the number one star of the program was Sydnie Pelletier’s Elephant Dancer program and speech to her mother, Coach Sharonrose Shalla, on her last performance in high school. Sydnie’s expression of gratitude for her mother had announcer Lynn Lawless and many more in tears. Pelletier began her performance with her mother who has been coach of the figure skating club for 29 years. /ANDRU MCCRACKEN
