Celebrating Calgary’s hospitality industry
by Freak show on 5/27/23Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - CalgaryThis was a fun and tight awards show. They got through a lot of award in 2 hours. Ken Lima-Coehlo was excellent as the new host of the awards. The Russell Broom Memorial Band was a refreshing addition playing the stingers with some of Calgary’s best musicians. Gotta have a live band every year for this part of the show. DJ’s don’t work. Jenn Beaupre performed again at another Tourism Calgary event in less than six months time. Tourism Calgary…you need to spread the work around to other talented performers at your events. This show could have used a diverse and/or biopoc musical performer as a feature. The after-party was lively and well attended. More food other than desserts would have been good.
