In 1954, Alberta’s Country Legend was born, serving Camrose and
Wetaskiwin (the “CW” of CFCW) as a small 250 watt station. By 1957, CFCW
stood for “Canada’s First Country Western” as it became the first station in
Canada to play entirely country music. Over time, CFCW grew into the
powerhouse it is today, claiming both Edmonton and Camrose as home
and reaching all of North-Central Alberta, from Slave Lake to Red Deer,
Edson to Lloydminster. CFCW is proudly celebrating 60 years as the home
of real country music and looking forward to 60 more!

Wednesday & Thursday • DECEMBER 3rd & 4th
When something is too good, it’s hard
not to ask for a double dose. And
that’s exactly what people will receive
from country singer Trevor Panczak at
this year’s Home Hardware Canada
Cup of Curling, presented by Meridian
Manufacturing.
Panczak will take over the Patch at the Camrose Community Centre on
both Dec. 3 and 4 to deliver his captivating country performance. Alberta
born and farm-raised, Panczak knows the definition of country and isn’t
scared to show it with his laid back humour, smooth voice, and charming
stage presence.
On Dec. 3, Panczak will step onto the stage with his guitar and put on a solo
performance for the Wednesday night show at the Patch. He’ll pick up here
he left off the next evening when he hits the stage with a full band.
Panczak has been gaining popularity with each passing year. He’s taken his
performances to a whole new level, most recently opening for country star
Tim McGraw at Rexall Place in Edmonton this past July.
The country performer knows a thing or two about curling too. Panczak has
performed at the 2013 Tim Hortons Brier and Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
He also has a song called “I Curl” which he describes as “the very first love
song with curling innuendo.”
All you need is a same-day ticket for the
Canada Cup of Curling to get into the
Patch and be entertained by one of
country music’s rising stars.

Friday • DECEMBER 5th
There’s
nothing more
pure than a
good oldfashioned
rock n’ roll
concert.
That’s what
Lethbridge
rock band The
Chevelles will
not only tell
you - but
show you during the
Home
Hardware
Canada Cup
of Curling, presented by Meridian Manufacturing.
The Chevelles have been touring Canada for over 14
years and aim to make every performance one to
remember. They’ll make that prophecy come true on
Friday, Dec. 5 when they set the tone for the weekend at
the Patch in the Camrose Community Centre.
Band members T.T. Chevelle (drums, vocals); Buck
Chevelle (lead vocals, lead guitar); Woody Chevelle
(guitar, vocals, keyboard); and Kitty Chevelle (lead
vocals, bass guitar) present the explosive and dynamic
power of rock n’ roll in its purest form. The Chevelles look
forward to kicking off the final few days of the Canada
Cup of Curling in a memorable way.
The Chevelle’s are no stranger to the Season of
Champions circuit after rocking the Scotties Tournament
of Hearts in Kingston in 2013 and their hometown of
Lethbridge in 2007.
This is not The Chevelle’s first appearance at the Canada
Cup of Curling, either. The band brought their monster set
list with them to Medicine Hat and played at the 2010
Canada Cup.
It’s not a coincidence The Chevelles keep getting asked
back to perform during the Season of Champions events.
And it certainly will not be a coincidence when your
head starts rocking and your feet get stomping at the
Patch on Friday night.
It all comes at the fair price of a same-day ticket to the
Canada Cup of Curling.
It all began at the back of the Shamrock Fruit Store in 1903. Amid apple
crates and potato sacks, three enterprising newsmen produced the first
edition of the Edmonton Journal on Nov. 11, 1903. Their mission was simple:
to provide relevant and reliable news and information to the Edmonton
community. A century later, our focus on the community still beats at the
heart of all we do, and is the lifeblood of our organization. We remain
Edmonton's most trusted voice, providing a professional perspective on
news, business, sports and entertainment that’s read by more northern
Albertans than any other daily newspaper.

Saturday • DECEMBER 6th
Suite33 will take over the Patch at the
Camrose Community Centre during
the Home Hardware Canada Cup of
Curling, presented by Meridian
Manufacturing and they promise a
non-stop party.
There might not be a better band out
there to get a crowd on their feet,
and Suite33 is looking forward to
bringing a dance party atmosphere
to the people of Camrose on
Saturday, Dec. 6.
Equipped with a programmable laser
light show, and hundreds of songs in
their repertoire, Suite33 is guaranteed
to take any party to the next level,
performing the very best that pop
music has to offer.
Suite33 has been perfecting their act
in hundreds of venues across North
America that include - but are not
9
limited to - Western Canada and a handful of states, including Las Vegas.
Suite33 is no stranger to the curling scene, either. The band performed at the
2012 Ford World Women’s Curling Championship in their hometown of
Lethbridge.
Lead singer Nicole Freeman will set the pace and tone of the evening from the
first note, and will engage the crowd. Suite33 also includes Freeman’s brother
Marc Belisle (lead vocals, lead guitar); sister Lizette Lynch (lead vocals, acoustic
guitar, percussion); Rich Oler (drums, vocals); and Doug Freeman (bass, sound
and lighting). Together these five talented musicians will be a rock solid force on
the stage and add to the evening’s entertainment.
A same day ticket to the Canada Cup of Curling will get you entry to the Patch.

The Orchard are a southern
country band with a
rock edge and will
take over the Patch
for an evening during
the Home Hardware
Canada Cup of Curling, presented by Meridian
Manufacturing.
Camrose will welcome The Orchard on the weekend of
Dec. 6-7 for performances each night at the inaugural
Winter Fest.
The band hails from Edmonton and consists of Kasha Anne
and Mitch Smith. The country band are sure to strike a
chord with the audience through the band’s twangy
guitar riffs and Anne’s soulful voice.
The Orchard is on the rise in the music scene and have
received numerous nominations from the Association of
Country Music in Alberta, nominating the band for “Group
or Duo of the Year” and most recently for “Rising Star” and
“Song of the Year” for their song “All Roads Lead Home.”
Get familiar with their debut album from 2012 called
“Southern Ground”, which received rave reviews and had
five singles reach the top 100 on Trax country charts. If you
like what you hear, then you’re in luck. The Orchard has
released its latest latest album “Georgia” in late August.
The inaugural Winter Fest will complement the Canada
Cup this Nov. 28 to Dec. 7 and allow the people of
Camrose and visitors to the city the opportunity to marvel
in an abundance of winter activities, events, and of
course music all week long.
Winter Fest – November 28th to December 7th
Highlighting the beauty and excitement of curling and
the holidays, the Home Hardware Canada Cup of
Curling and Camrose Winter Fest will be the family
events of the season. Ice sculptures, outdoor curling,
horse drawn hay rides, carolers and more will transform
Camrose into a winter wonderland.
The Camrose Community Centre will host family
oriented entertainment in and
around “The Patch” with dance
groups, skill demonstrations
(competitive skipping, etc.),
magicians, buskers, mascots
and more.
