The Heavy Souls are a hip trio of musicians comprised of Nick Piche on lead guitar and lead vocals, Sean Stephenson on bass guitar, and the aged veteran Keith Smith on drums. The Heavy Souls started with Nick’s idea to create a cover band playing songs of the contemporary band The Black Keys. They have since added many other cover tunes from a multitude of artists and also weave a few of their own original songs into each set. If you were to put a label on the genre of music they play, “rockin’ blues” would be fairly descriptive. The band has played at many venues in Brandon and the surrounding Westman

2012 Gay Nations CAMP, Gay Pride celebration

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CONTACT: C.J. LAFRAMBOISE

Frenchamer50@gmail.com

1^st AMERICAN INDIAN GAY PRIDE WEEKEND

JULY 6,7, 8, 2012

TURTLE MOUNTAIN CHIPPEWA RESERVATION

BELCOURT, ND, USA

The Founders Committee of the 2012 GayNations CAMP event is pleased to announce the first annual Geographical Center of North America Gay Pride Weekend scheduled for July 6,7,8, 2012 on the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Indian reservation, Belcourt, ND, USA.

The event is an international celebration of gay, lesbian, transgender life and focuses on building healthy identities among a high-risk group of adults and youth who are in need of positive identity-building community events. The event is all-inclusive of people of color and everyone else who wishes to participate in a retro-like Camping weekend. It will become a snapshot of gay life in the middle of Turtle Island.

Unlike larger Gay Pride events, the event will focus on a simple gathering, pitching tents in and around a community park, living in recreational vehicles, walking, playing, and sporting, with a community picnic, charades, movie night and an adult dance. The event is intended to mirror teepees on the plains, or the occupy movement.

It will also heavily rely upon American Indian dance and music and will feature a community round-dance rather than a parade as well as karaoke. There will be some speeches and the honoring of courageous American or Canadian native peoples in the fight for equality and recognition in both countries. Randy Burns, Pacifica CA, of the Pyramid Lake Paiute tribe and a former 2005/2010 San Francisco Gay Pride Grand Marshall has consented to be this year’s 2012 CAMP Grand Marshall.

The event is not intended to be political or focused on individual organizations with a defined social message. Speakers will be invited to give informal talks on identity, healthy living, sports activities and coming out to your family and community in a positive way.

The event will also include softball, volleyball, badminton, yoga and other healthy group physical activities.

The event is drug-free and alcohol free within the campsite . Drinking age requirements will be enforced elsewhere. Driving during the event is discouraged. Bicycles are highly encouraged.

A website outlining some of the preliminary events is planned for 2012gaynations.com
12 P.M. and on, Veterans Park, Belcourt, ND, USA, Hospital Road

St. Labre 200
The St. Labre 200 is a “FREE ADMISSION TO ALL” event filled with unique competitions, games/activites for youth and entertainment for all.

Unique Competitions:
The main event called the St. Labre 200 Race challenges teams to build a go-kart within 24hours.

Carts are then each timed individually in qualifying laps as they try to gain the coveted pole position.

The 200 lap race ensues as teams try to be the first to complete of the laps on the grueling dirt track. The winner gets bragging rights for the year and gets to hoist the prized Best Sleep Centre Sparkplug Cup.

Other Unique Competitions:
Excavator Rodeo: Competitors perform a series of tasks with an excavator. Whether it be picking up a beach ball to pulling a small sleigh. Beginners get to try out the excavators while experts get to show off their almost surgical precision with these amazing machines.

Rubber Boot Toss: Individuals are challenged to kick off their rubber boots while swinging on a swing-set. The winner of this event is the participant with the greatest distance.

Cook-off:
Participants are challenged to a fish fry off. Local chefs prepare a fish dish made from local Manitoba fish and try to earn the coveted cook off Queen/King Apron.

More Unique and very entertaining races:
Carts that participated in this event from the last three years are brought back to life and get to race in three different races:
Alumni Race: Where teams race for half an hour trying to gain the most laps.
Powder Puff Race: A 15 lap race where only women can compete.
Old Fart Race: A 15 lap race where you must be 55 years old or over to compete.

For the youth: Youth enjoy watching the carts being built from scratch. Playing in the balloon bouncers is probably one of the favorite activities followed closely by the super slip n’ slide.

Entertainment: This years’ entertainment includes two local bands: Hoppin’ Hedges and Bottle Jaw. These two bands are ready to bring the tent down and get the party started Saturday night. Also the biggest fireworks show of the South East will be taking place during one of the bands intermissions.

You can expect many other activities when you come out to the St. Labre 200. Camping spots are available and can be reserved at 429-3241.
The St. Labre 200 is a nonprofit corporation. It’s mission is to gather the South-Eastern communities of Manitoba in a unique event that provides:
1. Fun for all ages
2. Unique and friendly competitive events
3. An opportunity to support local business
4. A stage to showcase local talent
5. A venue to promote safety
6. An opportunity to give back to the community
And offer all this to the public with no admission fee.

The St. Labre 200 “Giving back to the community” campaign accepts applications from different individuals, groups and organizations. From the applications the committee decided this year to support three of the applications: East Borderland Community Housing, Treasure Keepers Children’s Centre and Les P’tits Brisous.

In the past three years the “Giving back to the community” campaign has given over $15000 to local organizations including: Out of the Blue, Seine River Services for Seniors, Ecole Saint Joachim, Heart and Stroke Foundation and the le Chalet.

We hope to see you at the St. Labre 200!
