Leah Durelle is set to appear at the 12 annual Magnificent River Rats Festival in Athabasca on July 1, 2008.

The performance marks a homecoming in more ways than one for the teen singer/songwriter. This will be Durelle's 3rd appearance at MRRF, but it is also a return to her own roots which go back to her great grandparents, the Richards and the Stirlings who were among the original settlers of the area. Her grandparents made Athabasca their home raising their three children which includes Leah's mom, Janis Richards. Leah has relatives throughout the county and hopes to see them all on July 1.
