"We are grateful to Placemaker Communities for their support by becoming our season sponsor," Sample told the Tri-City News.
"We’d also like to thank the City of Port Moody and the community itself for their support. It’s been very encouraging for us that so many of you are coming to all the concerts. We will continue with our promise to bring high quality music to Port Moody and look forward to seeing you in September."
