The pop-up retail project is closer to becoming a reality. Retail space is available downtown that would allow 12 vendors to set up shop and showcase their product on a short-term basis (one week, one month, six months or one year). The space still needs minor renovations and a potential opening in 6 months may be possible.
Lloydminster's pilot pop-up retail project is organized in partnership with Lloydminster Chamber of Commerce, Community Futures Lloydminster & Region, Lloydminster Economic Development and Destination Downtown Streetscapes.
If you are an artisan interested in short-term pop-up retail space, take the survey: here

Sarah Burton's playful soul has found its home in music through three
diverse albums, and countless ups and downs while traversing the globe.
She's seen her way through acoustic folk beginnings, into country swing

Four brothers, one destiny. (Okay that might've been a little over-the-top).
Liam, Jeremy, Luke, and Joe have been making music most of their lives in one way or another. With many musical stylings and influences, bluegrass, folk, Celtic,
reggae, blues and rock 'n roll, it's difficult to put them into one
musical genre. They've been called the Western band with the Eastern
sound, and their many original tunes reflect this diversity.

Kate Weekes stood on the Trans-Canada Highway eleven years ago; she
stuck out her thumb and left Ontario for an adventure in the Yukon.
Now, deeply embedded in the Yukon music community, Kate lives in a
little orange cabin outside of Whitehorse and spends the Yukon winters
working with 17 sled dogs. On her travels throughout Canada Kate has
been moved to capture the stories of characters she meets along her way
and ponder a sense of place within the varying lifestyles of our
country. Her songs paint pictures of mushing through the mountains and
paddling in the remote corners of the Yukon.
Kate released her debut self-titled album in 2007 and has since
performed throughout Canada, Japan & China. Her eclectic interests
in music have led to collaborative projects including an album of
northern fiddle tunes with Home Sweet Home in 2011 and a folk/swing
album “Beneath the Yukon Moon” with Grant Simpson the same year. The
past year has seen Kate perform in places stretching from Nanjing China
to McDonald’s Corners in Ontario to Haines Junction in the Yukon.
“Frost on Black Fur” is Kate’s second solo album. Released in October
2014, the original songs weave tales of dog mushing in Yukon’s winter,
paddling on remote rivers in the Peel Watershed and send the listeners
as far away as Ireland and China. Kate toured the album in Ontario in
the fall of 2014 and will be performing across Canada in the winter and
spring of 2015.

Chad Brownlee
A testament to his drive and talent, Chad Brownlee is an
extraordinary example of what one person can achieve. Although he may
focus on living in the moment and absorbing every treasured second with
his fans while performing on stage, Brownlee has already lived a life
many would argue could fill multiple lifetimes. An award-winning singer,
songwriter, philanthropist and former NHL draft pick, country music
artist Brownlee is by definition a renaissance man, who lives by the
credence that “opportunity lies along the path created by the choices
you make.”
In recent years his singles have rapidly climbed the country music
charts, with multiple singles cracking Top 10, including “Listen”,
“Smoke In The Rain” and “Crash”.
Over the last few years Brownlee has received critical acclaim and
numerous accolades including a highly coveted JUNO nomination for
Country Album of the Year, and consecutive Canadian Country Music
Association (CCMA®) Award™ Male Artist of the Year nominations (2012
& 2013).
Jess Moskaluke
Jess Moskaluke is dazzling the country music world. Her rapidly
growing fan base is evident, with a collective online following in the
millions, receiving her official Silver Play Button YouTube award for
breaking 100,000 subscribers. A notable performer on the 2014 CCMA®
Awards Show live broadcast, Jess dominates the stage with her powerful
vocals, country-pop style and infectious smile. Her single "Cheap Wine
and Cigarettes" quickly became the highest charting song on the iTunes
top 200 singles chart for any Canadian artist. With this second single
off of her new 10‐track album Light Up The Night, she also achieved GOLD
record status in August 2014; becoming the first Canadian female solo
country artist to surpass 40,000+ downloads for a song since Shania
Twain. Moskaluke just earned two Juno nominations for Country Album and
Breakthrough Artist.
Bobby Wills
An acclaimed musician with a reputation for writing from the heart,
Bobby Wills is an award‐winning country artist balancing a dual
personality as he musically shifts gears, tapping into a heavier country
sound with the release of his new album. Years in the making, his third
album Crazy Enough, is an intense mixture of rock‐inspired country
tracks featuring a musical attack of the senses with percussion and a
bevy of string instruments, balanced with his signature melodic
harmonies and intimate lyrical story‐telling. As he spent countless
hours in studio completing his new album, Alberta native Wills has
enjoyed an extraordinary year winning the 2013 Canadian Country Music
Association (CCMA®) awards™ Rising Star title, as well as consecutively
taking home the Alberta Country Music Association (ACMA) Male Artist of
the Year award (2012/2013).

influential cultural couples. While Kreviazuk and Maida are quick to
lend their time to the studio and stage, they are equally committed to

Tereza Tomek’s
lyrically driven songs tell the tales of characters you never expected
to meet but are glad you did, such as a West Coast Trail lighthouse
keeper at the turn of the century, a girl whose receives a life-saving
organ transplant because of a strangers tragedy, and a tree with a bad
case of wanderlust. They are sprinkled with vivid imagery and themes of
nature, isolation, grief, restlessness, exploration, defiance, and love.
Though sometimes the story is told through the eyes of others, her
songs are deeply personal and rooted in the empathy that binds us all.
Audiences can expect an interactive presentation of unique songwriting
delivered with richly toned vocals, catchy guitar riffs, endearing stage
presence, and a good dose of humour.
