Bentall's Grand Cariboo Opry hugely successful

Brentwood's Music in the Park has raised $37,000 for food banks

Thanks so much for the great article on the upcoming March 23 Barney Bentall concert (Barney’s back, The Arts, March 9), a fundraiser for Brentwood’s Music in the Park.

I would like to make one correction though – you reported Barney Bentall’s Grand Cariboo Opry raised over $3,700 combined for the Sidney Lions Food Bank and the Mustard Seed Food Bank. In fact, we have raised over $37,000 in five years.

We are already talking with Barney about next year’s Cariboo Opry, and plans are underway to host the show again in November in the Saanichton and Victoria venues.
