Cariboo Festival 2012 wrapped up Saturday evening at Cariboo Bethel Church with a three-hour concert featuring an amazing array of talented local youth and adults who earned gold standing from the judges in their entry classes.

In a break from previous years, the Spotlight Performance normally held the week before the Honour’s Concert was cancelled due to a shortage of volunteers, hence the expanded program for the Honours Concert.
