Paul Selina, chair of the Barn Dance, said the community is really keen to put on the event and keep the music going. We feel that with the draw that the festival brought that Pemberton has made its mark as a place that can host a successful musical event It s just a great venue, a great environment for an open-air music festival in Pemberton - we just want to continue that, really, Selina said.
Robert Meilleur, president of the Pemberton Lions Club and the Lions representative for the Barn Dance, said the event has been a big draw and a wonderful event in the past, and the opportunity exists to step things up to make the Barn Dance more like the Pemberton Festival was, and hopefully will be again in the future, he added.
