A Yellowknife establishment got to making more than one type of racket Saturday.

Of course, weSA国际影视传媒檙e talking about the patio at the Raquet Club, Patrick Jacobson and Travis Nick.

Jacobson said before his performance he hoped that the show would bring awareness to the area at the Racquet cCub, singing its praises before singing out on the deck.

SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 great,SA国际影视传媒� said Jacobson. SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 just such an excellent space. I have spent time at the Racquet Club, on the patio there before, and I feel like itSA国际影视传媒檚 a pretty underutilized space in the city. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 definitely one of the best patios in town, and I think people donSA国际影视传媒檛 really know itSA国际影视传媒檚 there. So I think this is going to help bring some people out, people that donSA国际影视传媒檛 really think of the Racquet Club as a place they can go and have a beer on the patio in the sun.SA国际影视传媒�

Nick was also enthusiastic to be playing at the Racquet Club, especially after the long wait of the pandemic.

SA国际影视传媒淥h itSA国际影视传媒檚 fantastic,SA国际影视传媒� said Nick. SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檓 ecstatic to be playing again, we all are. The last show I preformed was just before Saint PatrickSA国际影视传媒檚 Day and that was it. There hasnSA国际影视传媒檛 been anything since then. Even the local performers, we havenSA国际影视传媒檛 gotten together to play. We essentially followed the rules, we didnSA国际影视传媒檛 even get together to play much during the last 14 months. So, itSA国际影视传媒檚 just fantastic to be back, to be playing again, anywhere. So, itSA国际影视传媒檚 nice to see it actually start to happen.SA国际影视传媒�

Meghan Newberry, event director and co-ordinator at the Yellowknife Racquet Club, was excited to get things rolling as event season last year came to an abrupt end.

SA国际影视传媒淭he purpose was to get people out on the deck,SA国际影视传媒� said Newberry. SA国际影视传媒淚 genuinely think itSA国际影视传媒檚 the warmest place in Yellowknife. Like itSA国际影视传媒檒l hit 42 degrees on there on a good day, and it has such a great energy. You can see Great Slave Lake, you can see Old Town, thereSA国际影视传媒檚 a nice breeze, all of that stuff. We really want to give exposure to that.SA国际影视传媒�

As well, Newberry wanted to give something back to the community.

SA国际影视传媒淎long with showing people what a great facility that we are and how accommodating we can be, that type of thing,SA国际影视传媒� said Newberry. SA国际影视传媒淲e have been really lucky to receive so much support during the pandemic, we just wanted to see people out here and having a good time.SA国际影视传媒�
