Ridley Bent and others are appearing at the Merritt Desert Inn  on the weekend .It is also the home show weekend and spending signals will be being broad cast. There is lots of talk about the line up of stars for the Merritt Mountain Music Festival.There is a considerable network of festival /gala supporters here and based on the possibilities of ticket sales it may well occur again. However good will have to prevail as this is not Los Vegas  or Holly Wood and the one and a half million paid to  the last headliner more alienates than draws fans to the event.

Lots of luck for the branding of Merritt and the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.
