nominations from the U.S.-based Country Music Association.In a world where music groups are constructed and contrived, it\u2019s a wonderful change to see a group with the chemistry and enthusiasm that are the Wilkinsons.Tight families are something of a rarity these days, and to see one that puts together solid lyrics, soaring vocals, and tight harmonies may be even rarer still! The Wilkinsons understood that blood-ties and blood harmonies are thicker and richer than any amount of record business calculation.Their music not only captivates but also shows there can be a sense of peace with the way life evolves.With their first album, Nothing But Love, they established themselves as an act with a firm grip on both the sound and direction of what their music was all about.Listening to their first single, 26 Cents, it\u2019s easy to see why the group and the self-penned tune garnered so much attention from record labels and resulted in so many nominations and awards.From writing seven songs on the first album to the 12 that they have written for the brand new project.Highway, all three Wilkinsons have shown that their creativity goes beyond Day Renfrew/Pontiac Livestock Ltd.R.R.#3, Cobden, Ontario KOJ 1K0 1:00 pm -

and see - is definitely who they are.\u201cFor us, we\u2019re just a family that hangs out together and we really enjoy each other, on and off stage.\u201d In 2001 the Wilkinson\u2019s were Canada's Juno Group of the Year.That September they were the headliners at the Shawville Fair and entertained a record crowd.This year they appear on stage Friday evening.Aaron Lines Aaron Lines is from Fort McMurray, Alberta.He\u2019s the youngest of four children of a schoolteacher and the town\u2019s first dentist.He says it was a great place to grow up, but he always dreamed of playing music.And he knew that dream would mean moving away.\u201cIt was a small city, you pretty much knew everybody, and everybody knew you.I went to school with the same 30 kids until eighth grade.\u201d When he was 12 years old, the shy, soft-spoken young man who \u201cnever got in trouble\u201d told his mother that he would like to learn to play guitar.The idea came out of the blue.\u201cWell, no one in my family was particularly musical, 1 don\u2019t remember my parents even playing records, though my older brother and sisters did.They had all taken piano lessons, but didn\u2019t like them and never wanted to practice, so, by the time they got to me, my mother had given up.When I asked about guitar, she actually found an old acoustic one that my dad had and signed me up right away for lessons.\u201d Though he hardly knew it then, it was that gui- SUNDAY, SEPT.4 8:00 am Gates Open 9:00 am -
