David Wilcox Had A Packed House At The Venue Doing The Bearcat

It was a special night at The Venue Friday, as Canadian rocker David Wilcox played his classics like "Riverboat Fantasy" and "Do the Bearcat" to a packed crowd. The evening was sponsored by WIND Mobile, which has recently opened two stores in Peterborough—one at Charlotte Mews, the other at 999 Lansdowne Street—and WIND Co-Founder Mike O'Connor was on hand to donate a $20,000 cheque to the Peterborough Festival of Trees. We spotted, among many others, The Wolf's Dani Stover, Brian Ellis and Ryan Lalonde doing the bearcat. Here's some (grainy) pics from the concert...
