TESTIMONIALS::::

Hi Nicole, I just wanted to catch up again and let you know how great it was to have the Desert Rain Dancers/Shimmy for the Soul at last weekend's FraserFest. Our guests enjoyed the beautiful and scenic Fraser River while enjoying the fun and energetic sights and sounds of this event. We were fortunate to have you group come to our event and bring some great music and history!

Once again, we thank you for being part of FraserFest 2010. With your help, we certainly created a fun-filled and memorable weekend. I have also kept your name on our entertainment roster to use for upcoming events.  !

Looking forward to crossing paths with you again in the future!
