How many people can say theyÕve cooked in the kitchen with Martin Yan, talked literature with Margaret Atwood, shared the stage with Tim McGraw, or emceed Edmonton OilersÕ games?
Kat is also a show host for major venues, such as Big Valley Jamboree, Northlands Northern Star Talent Search, and Country Star Search just to name a few.
