An approximate 150 people rotated through to catch a glimpse of the four musical acts that kept the doors open from 8 'til midnight. Acts included performances by bands "Guerrilla Warfare" with Mark Friesen and Josiah Speers, and "Moriah" with James and Will Neufeld, Justin Kroeker, and Nick Rempel, as well as a folk duet by Mandy and Jonathon Kroeker, and a cover song by Jason Braun.
This event was unique from past coffee houses, due to its artistic innovation to include two short Niverville inspired films between musical acts. The Drop In produced film highlighted events that it offers throughout the year, and the mock documentary on the "People of Niverville" fronted by Josiah Speers, Keenan Byggdin and Matt Falk were thoroughly enjoyed.
All who participated were well received by viewers who managed to applaud and cheer, despite the fact that the air was extremely thick and hot due to the mass volume of body heat and lack of air conditioning. This event was dubbed "Frozen" because Drop In volunteers were making cheap milkshakes and floats to cool off the crowd from the heat of summer. The Drop-In Centre casually hosts a variety of themed coffee houses throughout the year, which, in the past, has included a St. Patrick's Day coffee house, a "Pirate Day" themed evening, as well as Halloween and seasonal concerts. Stay tuned for the next event.
