For the second straight year, the Happy Nun Café in Forget has been named the Venue of the Year by the Saskatchewan Country Music Association (SCMA).
The SCMA revealed its annual award winners during a virtual ceremony on April 21.
In a post on its Facebook page Sunday morning, the Happy Nun thanked all of its friends and family for the continued support.
The Happy Nun also applauded all the other venues out there that are working hard to do what they can to keep live music happening at this time.
Also, the SCMA bursary was won by Carlyle's Morgan Robertson. (Next week’s edition of the Observer will have more on Robertson’s award).
