Former Dauphin Mayor and past Countryfest president, Eric Irwin, was inducted into the Manitoba Country Music Hall of Fame.
It happened at the Manitoba Country Music Awards that took place on Saturday.
President of Countryfest, Ann Ransom, spoke with us about the night and how everyone involved with the festival was feeling during the ceremony.
“So our whole festival family was quite excited inducted into the Hall of Fame. Eric’s daughter, Erica Irwin accepted on behalf of the family. It was just a great presentation Ryan Keown did the induction speech and it was really fantastic to see Eric being recognized in the province for all of his contributions throughout his span with Dauphin’s Countryfest.”
Ransom says Eric was a staunch supporter of showcasing Manitoba talent at Dauphin’s Countryfest.
