Andrés Dávalos, Andrés Palma, and Cristian Moya will take the stage during the intermission. Andino Suns is a multi-instrumental modern Andean party music group based out of Regina, Saskatchewan.

With live Andean music, a delicious prairie buffet, cash bar, and talented writers and publishers from across the province, the Awards Ceremony is not a show to be missed!
