Terrace A ball came to town last Friday, but the royalty was of a different sort, ; White gloves and glass slippers were replaced by hiking boots and dreadlocks, aS. the treeplanters’ ball graced Terrace. Dubbed ‘'The ftreeplanters’ guide to the galaxy,’ the event showcased a frenzied musical performance, - courtesy of Vancouver-based Roots Roundup. The band played its signature mixture of funk ’n? roll, while the audience danced the night away. About 200-250 people were at the show, Roots Roundup played two sets, including a lengthy epic that fea- tured bits of songs from groups as diverse as Tom Cochrane, No Means No, the Knack and Talk- ing Heads, In between sets, a presentation was given by Garth Lenz from the Friends of Clayoquot Sound. The show was organized by Doug Gook, a member of the Forest Protection Allies - (FORPA), which is an environ- menial group based out of Ques- nel. Part-of the proceeds went to support FORPA.
