Playing At Cinema 86

The Band Dryden Adopted is Coming Back.

Last summer, rockers Aberdeen were touring across Canada when their van broke down and they were left stranded in Dryden. Our City adopted them - and they played the high school, Rockin' on the River and were even in the Centennial Parade.

Aberdeen returns to Dryden for a FREE concert Saturday December 4 at New Prospect School. Doors open at 6:30, first come...first admitted. "Kings and Queens" open at 7. Aberdeen follows.

Free to all ages - presented by the Dryden Centennial Committee and 92.7 CKDR.

Look what Lorie Fradsham won! Lorie picked up a "Ducks Unlimited" special edition acoustic guitar, courtesy of the Ducks Unlimited Auction in Dryden! Lorie tell us she almost hung up when she heard Richard McCarthy take a caller before her...but the first caller had the wrong answer! Lorie's call was next, and she nailed it! Congratulations, Lorie!
