Congratulations to Jim Brown for his induction into the 

Bluegrass Music Association of Canada  Hall of Fame



NOVEMBER 3rd 2023

Bluegrass Award and 100 Year Coombs Rodeo Grounds Celebration Event


On November 3rd 2023, Jim Brown was awarded an induction into the Bluegrass

Music Association of Canada’s (BMAC) Hall of Fame, for huge contributions for

bluegrass in Canada. This happened at the Coombs Rodeo Grounds, in the hall

and the place was packed, many coming for miles to congratulate Jim on this.

Jim has been instrumental in keeping bluegrass alive at Coombs all of these

years. Also celebrated with a huge cake was the 100th Birthday of the original

baseball diamond in the corner near the highway, and the related area, which

was sold to a group of people to keep it for use in the community, in 1923.

The first bluegrass festival occurred 55 years later and was in 1978. Although

the first one was not on these present grounds, the site has been the same since

1979, the second year it was held.

There will be a much larger story all about the Coombs Rodeo Grounds and how

it took bluegrass by the horns coming up soon.

Here are some photos of the November 3rd event:
