Meet Courtney & Katie from St. Catharines (14 photos)

Courtney and Katie Hicks had the right idea on Thursday night.

The two found a big rock underneath the shade of a tree to watch the Shauna Major RotaryFest Second Stage performance.

Courtney and Katie aren't just regular fans.

They're family/fans - Shauna Major's second cousins.

The girls are up from St. Catharines for the month of July, visiting with family here in the Sault.

If you look closely in the picture you can see the stage where Shauna is performing, between the girls in the background.

Both said Shauna's music is great, but they haven't been aware of their family ties to the musician for that long.

"We just found out we were related to her a few days ago," Katie admitted.

Shauna performed just after 5 p.m. at the RotaryFest Second Stage.

The audience was slim at the beginning, but she got a warm welcome from the crowd that did come out to see her.

After her stint here in the Sault, Shauna is off to Ireland.

Then she heads to Sweden where she has a large following due to her website.

Shauna is just finishing up her tour of Canada.
