A councillor for the City of Penticton is trying to organize a Michael Jackson tribute show, similar to the Elvis tribute show that runs annually in Penticton.

Councillor Mike Pearce, who helped spearhead the Elvis tribute show effort about 10 years ago, thinks he and his committee could have the show up and running by summer 2011.

Is this kind of event a good idea for the city of Penticton?

It might have failed at the ballot box in May, but we are trying it out anyway: iRanks! Instead of picking just one answer out of many in a standard poll question, you can rank your answers with iRank. Just pick a topic below and then click the green RANK NOW! button in the bottom right corner. Drag and drop your responses in the right window in the order you wish them to appear. You can even add responses we did not think of.
