This annual conference has been going on for 25 years, and for many of those years was likely the biggest Christian youth conference in Canada. The principal driver of the whole thing, a man named Mike Love, was retiring, and, like sand in an hourglass, his commitment to YC had run out.
Thank you for providing them with life-changing worship experiences. And thank you for staying true to the original vision to the very end.
As always, this year was both awesome and worrying. The weather was a little cool with rain threatening and a chilly breeze pushing between the assorted school buses, vans, and cars in the parking lot and even into the venue itself. I just celebrated the thirty-somethingth anniversary of my 29th birthday, but the kids looked no stranger than ever. Nevertheless, I felt just a little bit sorry for the young girls who willingly suffered from the cruel wind because they insisted on wearing shorts.
All seemed like previous years until I saw a young fellow in a giant T-rex costume. That was a first, and strangely symbolic considering YC was headed for extinction. The Red Deer venue allowed me to enjoy the music without the earplugs I was forced to insert at the Edmonton Coliseum. A lot of the music went right over my grey-ish head. One concert featured an artist who spoke rhythmically to the beat of the only accompanying musician; a drummer. The last concert was provided by the currently hot For King and Country and was well-received by a boisterous crowd of appreciative teens.
