June 2010
June 19-20	AnimalFest 2010 - Kemptville, Ontario This is Big Sky's version of the Farm Aid Concert! It is our biggest, and most important annual fund raising event of the year to help provide a safe haven for the ever-increasing number of animals that are arriving at the ranch. Check back here to see our growing line-up of musicians, activities (Yves Houle Carnival for kids, Hwy 43 Car club) and entertainment (Shake-a-Paw and K9 demos) for this year like our Feature Bands.... Cougar Chick Tribute Band- a high energy, dance-your-face-off rock show. Hear all your favorite songs, from Beyonce, Pat Benatar, Heart, Steve Nicks, Lady Gaga, Joan Jett, Allanah Myles and many more. Extraordinary vocals, choreography and dramatic staging make this show band a must-see. The show conjures up many great memories for us all: women flocked to see these powerful icons sing about love, sex, power and Black Velvet, while men loved to watch the gorgeous women of rock strut their stuff. Disco Inferno - They're bringing back the disco fever of the 70's! Why Is Disco Still Thriving? For the simple reason that it never went anywhere! Of course it's great and has influenced all types of dance and popular music since. Disco is a force that shook up the establishment and tore down many socio-economic barriers. People of all incomes, races and sexual preference are able to enjoy Disco and have fun. Repertoire includes: I Will Survive, Stayin' Alive, We Are Family, Car Wash, Celebration, Dancing Queen, Disco Inferno, Don't Leave Me This Way
June 21	NGJ "Balls Deep" Golf Tournament - Manderley on the Green, Manotick, Ontario Please join us for the Neal Garrett Janz “BALLS DEEP” Golf Tournament being held in support of Big Sky Ranch Animal Shelter. When: Monday, June 21, 2010; Where: Manderley on the Green; Registration: 9am. The once in a lifetime golf experience is being held to honour Neal Garrett Janz who died tragically in a motorcycle accident several years ago. One of Neal’s greatest passions in life was animals and in particular dogs. In order to help preserve Neal’s legacy and love for animals, a charity golf tournament is being held, in support of a local non-profit animal shelter where all animals are treated with kindness and love. Through some research and a heart breaking visit with Andy Parent of Big Sky Ranch in Pelton’s Corners, the ranch was chosen as the recipient of all of the funds raised through this tournament.
