The Capital Fair is happy to again present The Pop Shop All Stars Showcase! A little about The Pop Shop Performing Arts Academy of Ottawa: Giving back to the community is very important to the Pop Shop. With their ''Kids Kindness Calendar', the All-Stars try to do one good deed or performance monthly. Over the years, they have collected toys and food for animals, hosted a canned food drive, baked cupcakes, made dry-good winter snack bags, and of course performed for several groups of our vulnerable neighbours, and community friends. The all-girl All-Star team can be booked by emailing popshopallstars@yahoo.ca with event details. Come and sing and dance and have a blast with the, often imitated but never duplicated, Pop Shop Performing Arts Academy! The Pop Shop is located in the West End of Ottawa. We are a small but mighty operation, selecting just 25 students a year to participate in our part-time or full-time programs.
