The 2015 Lonsdale Business Showcase was held last weekend at R&L Woodcraft and Greenlight Entertainment was happy to be involved! There were over 40 local businesses featured and over 500 attendees taking in the event. The event was coordinated by the Lonsdale Chamber of Commerce. The Lonsdale News Review published a great article on the event here.
Greenlight Entertainment ran the sound and lights for the main stage where there were performances by local groups every hour. Here are some performance highlights from the event:
Lonsdale Karate gave two demonstrations showcasing kata (detailed choreographed patterns of movement) at different levels of training. They also showed group movements and a nunchaku demonstration. Lonsdale Karate teaches classical Okinawan Karate and Kobudo and is run by Tim and Mikako Jurgens who have trained in Japan and are supported by five other black belts. They offer classes on Friday nights at the Lonsdale Civic Center at very reasonable rates.
Air Aerobics also gave an entertaining Kangoo demonstration where audience members could try rebound boots. The boots seemed easy enough to navigate and it looked like a great workout! Air Aerobics offers classes at the New Prague SNAP Fitness.
The performances continued with the New Prague Czech Singers. While they were a smaller group than usual, they had a great sound and gave a lovely performance.
The last group to perform was the Domaci Czech Dancers – a group of children and teenagers promoting Czech traditions through music, dance and song. The group’s instructors were trained in the Czech Republic and their dances are performed with traditional choreography. What a great way for kids to stay connected to their heritage!
Overall the 2015 Lonsdale Business Showcase was a great event! We have some great
