REGINA – It’s only a few short days before Folk music takes over the Queen City.

Set-up for the event is under-way and is ahead of schedule for this year’s event.

Organizers are asking people to dress for the weather and too bring waterbottles and chairs for the events. They’re hopeful mother nature will be co-operative after cancelling a performance last year due to extreme weather.
