Barnet Bentall Fundraiser
Plan to attend a fun night of music in support of the BC Farmer’s Market Nutrition Coupon Program.
A legend in Canadian Music, Barney Bentall brings his annual tour with The Cariboo Express for the first time to Kelowna on: November 24th - Delta Grand Okanagan Hotel.
Each year for the past 11 years, the Cariboo Express tour is a highly anticipated show like no other traveling across the Rockies through BC and Alberta. A heartwarming, hilarious variety show of astonishing talents in roots, country, and rock 'n roll, with a sense of community at the center of it all.
Barney Bentall and his gang have raised over $500 000 to date with his fundraising tour!
Other special guests at this show include the Honourable Lieutenant Governor of BC, Judith Guichon and Minister of Agriculture, Norm Letnick.
Funds raised from this concert will support Okanagan seniors and families to access evenmore fresh, locally grown fruit, vegetables, meat and eggs while directly supporting local farmers at the Kelowna Farmers' and Crafters' Market!
Please join us for a memorable night of music while supporting seniors, families and our Farmers’ Market community!

The BC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program (FMNCP) is a healthy eating initiative that supports farmers’ markets and strengthens food security across British Columbia. Community partner organizations hand out coupons to lower-income families and seniors participating in their food literacy programs. These coupons can be spent at all BC farmers' markets that participate in the FMNCP to purchase fruits, vegetables, cheese, eggs, nuts, fish and meat. Each household enrolled in the program is eligible to receive a minimum of $15/week in coupons.
The Cariboo Express was born out of Barney Bentall’s love for the Cariboo region of BC and is the honorary birthplace of this long-running show. In doing a little at-home research on the area, Bentall came across the history of F.J. Barnard, and The B.X. Express, the main cartage and passenger services company on the Cariboo Road, also known as “Barnard’s Express”. So, in homage to the area and it’s rich history, Mr. Barnard Bentall saw fit to rename the traveling roadshow, The Cariboo Express.
