... because the weather just wouldn't cooperate. A Friday afternoon in August shouldn't require a jacket and gloves!

Shelagh McNally toasts the event, “We were thrilled to host H.O.G.® members for this special event. They managed to enjoy themselves and were appreciative of our hard work - even when the weather did its crazy Calgary-thing.  I hold up my glass and toast them and hope they find their way back to Big Rock when the sun is shining."

Hosted by Red Dawg, Warthog Untapped featured local acts: Lindsay Ell, The Lions and the Matt Blais Connection.

Red Dawg, a close friends of Big Rock, said, “I think the Big Rock venue should host events like this all summer long. It's perfect for concerts - and I think we should bring back the beer Olympics! I definitely wanna host that one!"

Reviewing the music he had this to say, "Lindsey Ell was unbelievable local talent and at just 21 years she has a huge future - and a huge voice. The Lions are a great party band, a riot on stage and an awesome mix of both covers and originals! And, Matt Blais...great voice and the band is very tight. What's not to love?”
