SAULT STE. MARIE — Madrigal dinner returned to the Soo this past weekend after taking years off due because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Madrigal dinner, hosted in the Kewadin Casino dream maker theater, raises money every year for Hospice of the EUP, a local hospice house that relies on donations and community support to keep running. The performance includes serving dinner during a play and dressing in medieval clothes.
