****North Island Beerfest is cancelled so we won't be doing the show below****
The festival takes place from 6:00pm to 9:00 at C.R. SPORTSPLEX, 1800 S Alder St., where approximately 500 people will be sampling different beers/ciders produced locally here in B.C. It’s the perfect opportunity to showcase the SetCrafter™ concept – including live band karaoke and song sponsorship – to a developing craft beer market on the North Island.

What's proposed for October 22nd is a followup event after 9pm at Campbell River's major live music stage and nightclub, the Voodoo Lounge at 1140 Ironwood St. The Naturals & Dr. Goulet will perform their customary three set format of "Open", "Theme", and "Invitational" sets, with the theme set being composed of a six-pack of "River Songs" and a six-pack of songs either from the "Tragically Hip Tribute" or "Ozztober" lists. Or, we can go with 3 mini sets of 4 songs each.
The headlining "Invitational" set will raise funds for the Haig-Brown Institute, e an environmental conservation and writing society located in Campbell River. Ten singing spots will be auctioned off in exchange for invitations to get up on stage with The Naturals during the headlining set. Craft beer sponsors from Beerfest will be able to sponsor these songs as an additional way to raise money (as clean water and environmental conservation is particularly important to brewing).

For participating breweries in Campbell River's first annual Beerfest sponsoring singers on the headlining "Invitational" set will create some direct brand and product promotion opportunities. Their product will be displayed and highlighted to the audience on stage at time of performance, while the participant will receive a sample of the product as a thanks for their performance. All the beer sponsor needs to do is match the singer's pledged amount to donate to the Haig-Brown Institute. Everybody wins!

We are also exploring two key craft breweries in Vancouver as sponsors for our two themed "6-packs". More on this to follow upcoming road event to follow. A framework for the evening could look something like this...
