(Saint John native Stompin’ Tom at Harbour Station Saturday night – file photo)
Stompin’ Tom is getting some recognition from council — the city has declared Saturday as the first annual Stompin’ Tom day. The city native will be performing at Harbour Station on Saturday — council drew some criticism late last month when it rejected a request to temporarily rename the pedway between Brunswick Square and City Hall Stompin’ Tom way. And Mayor Ivan Court has also proclaimed August 9th through the 15th as Pride Festival week.
