Met Gala honouring John Galliano cancelled following backlash - CBC

For those of you that have been waiting to hear who will be entertaining at this year’s Rooted Gala before buying your ticket, this great event did not disappoint. I am always impressed when I think about how many talented individuals have come up through the 4-H program. Last year Gord Bamford was the entertainment for this huge fundraiser, a former 4-Her from the west. It was so great to be at the Rooted Gala event. Aside from the fantastic meal and good conversation with those attending and organizing this 4-H community event, the performance by a country superstar was just the icing on top of the evening. This year the entertainer comes from just up the road. The Rooted Gala entertainment for this year’s event is ECMA artist, singer songwriter and former Cape Breton 4-H member Jimmy Rankin! Now Jimmy is not the only star of this event. The Rooted Gala is centered around two things. This event is an important fundraiser for an incredible youth organization AND features a delicious meal created by culinary elite.
