Last night, we attended the Encore Gala at the Manitoba Club. It was a cocktails/dinner to raise money for Rainbow Stage. We were the guests of WOW! Hospitality Concepts, the company that owns Celebrations Dinner Theatre. Although I don't particularly like formal attire affairs, this one was well worth the effort.
We sat with friends and enjoyed conversations around the table. The dinner and service was excellent. The entertainment was superb. "Those Guys", an a cappella group, sang several original arrangements, with lively vocal percussion and entrancing harmonies. They received a standing ovation as they ended.
The venue, the Manitoba Club, was also great. This fine old building is a recently restored heritage clubhouse. It has been used by Winnipeg's elite business people as a social networking site since 1874.
It was definitively the highlight of our week.
What a fun night it must have been! Have you any photos of the Manitoba Club? Seems like an interesting building! Sometimes it is good to do things we do not always like. Life can happen and it brings new rewards and experiences.
