The Kanaka Creek Kids Choir will share the stage next week with acclaimed children’s entertainer Fred Penner.

Featuring 35 students from Grades 1-5, you can sing along to Penner classics such as Ghost Riders In the Sky, Sandwiches, Ooo Baba Loo, Fit, Where in the WorldI am the Wind, Company’s Coming, Poco, Imagination, This Old Man and, of course, The Cat Came Back.

“We are so looking forward to working with Fred Penner again,” said Dawn Flanagan, the school’s choir director.

“His music is timeless and loved by kids of all ages. His interactions with children he is singing with and children he is singing for are full of kindness and warmth.”

The performance will also feature 75 students from kindergarten who will be on stage for four songs.

“They add just the right amount of cuteness and sparkle to the show,” said Flanagan.

• Fred Penner and the Kanaka Kids Choir perform Thursday, March 13 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $13 and available online at theactmapleridge.org.
