Town investment: $100,000. Banff Lake Louise tourism: $30,000. Cash sponsorships: $15,000. Media value sponsorships: $70,000. Four Canadian bands playing on Banff Ave to in an area set to hold 30,000 people: Priceless.
That’s the price Banffites and visitors will have to pay on August 21 to see Ron Sexsmith, Joel Plaskett Emergency, K-Os and Theory of a Deadman for the Banff Refreshing Party. But even though the date is set for less than a month away, the town of Banff and everyone involved still have a long way to go.

BVIG : Theory of a Deadman ?? A nickleback coverband and a few other D-listers .. this is the major Canadian famous bands that cost so much ? This must be a practical joke . Maybe Trooper and Glass Tiger weren't available . It's hard to believe these bands could cost so much . They should pay the town of Banff for the exposure ! Maybe the town should have saved the money and put on street party featuring local talent and throw a few fireworks into the mix . The money saved could have boosted this footbridge project . That would make economical sense though . We can't have that , especially in government . Ahh maybe it'll rain .
Guess the bands above were busy !
