As we plow through winter in Canada in Mazatlan Mexico the average temperature December through March is just 82 degrees. That sounds pretty darn good to me. Our friend Brent McAthey saw an opportuni- ty to promote country music shows once a month November to March. Brent has been doing this for the past three years and he says "With support from the state Government the city of Mazatlan. And the secretary of tourism."
"I was named the official Tour- ism Ambassador by both the City of Mazatlan and the State of Sinaloa for my commitment to promoting Mazatlan inter- national which I'm proud of and work hard at." The shows were held for 2 years in a 300 seat showroom in the Hotel Playa Mazatlan. Then last year the show moved to Mazatlan's biggest resort EL CID, and was performed in their 650 seat showroom which was sold out for almost every show.
The people buying the tickets which includes an open bar and open buffet plus the show are snowbirds and tourists for the most part but all the guest artist worked hard promoting the show here in Mazatlan through out the year at their other shows in Canada and the US. So many of their fans booked trips to Mazatlan Mexico to enjoy a week or 2 in paradise AND got to see their favorite country artist too.

2nd. To promote Canadian country artist to people from all over the world who are visiting Mazatlan
Last year Patricia Conroy, Beverley Mahood and Mi- chelle Wright took the trip to Mazatlan to perform for a sold out crowd and knowing these girls it probably included some beach time as well.
The guys on stage with Brent are Duanne Steel, Jake Mathews As a radio station it may make sense to contract Brent and work out a listener travel package to offer for next season which is November 2017 to March 2018. This would make for a cool contest and one you could no
