| BARNEY BENTALL & THE CARIBOO EXPRESS CONCERT IN SUPPORT OF THE POTLUCK CAFÉ SOCIETY
Dwight and Tyler want to show you a good time!
This year, the 11th Annual Barney Bentall & The Cariboo Express concert in support of the Potluck Café Society will be held on Saturday, November 26 at the Vogue Theatre, starting at 7:30 pm. Jefferson | Steele Partners made a three year commitment as presenting sponsor, and we invite you to be a part of this fun, feel good evening.
This show is a concert first and foremost. Yes, they will let you know a few times during the show that the Potluck Café Society is the beneficiary of the evening, but there is no hard sell or guilt trips. Well, Barney does run a good ol’ small town meat draw, $2 per ticket!

Why are Dwight and Tyler personally sponsoring this concert?
Our team had a revolutionary experience last fall when we volunteered at the Potluck Café Society’s community meal in November. We had used Potluck Café’s catering service for some time; going there and seeing firsthand the work that they do felt to us like exactly the kind of social enterprise we wanted to see succeed.
In the two years previous, we had attended the Barney Bentall & The Cariboo Express concert held in late November, so we knew what a celebratory and fun evening they put on. Everything started to fall into place. We stepped in to be the title sponsor last year, and our team decided shortly thereafter to make a three year commitment.
A private pre-show cocktail reception will be held exclusively for our clients and their friends who purchase a ticket for this evening. Click here to email us with details of your party (names, the location of your seats) and we’ll add you to our guest list . More details will follow for those of you joining us.
Why aren’t the tickets complimentary?
Normally when we invite you to join us for an event, there’s never any cost to you. However in this case, we’ve changed our minds. We want to ensure that every penny of our sponsorship dollars go to help the Potluck Café Society’s work, so we’re asking you to help by buying your own tickets. Instead, we’re inviting you to join us for cocktails “on us” beforehand to celebrate the season and show our thanks. We want to get you hooked on this show; it comes to town every year at the start of the festive season!
