New Silent Auction Function
New this month on www.MadeInHaliburton.ca is a Silent Auction Feature. This functions much like ebay and is being utilized to help non-profit organizations raise money and to auction some regular art items. In the case of the items that are in support of non-profit organizations the full value paid (minus only credit card fees if you pay via this method) is transferred to the non-profit.Currently on the auction block are:1. Two tickets to the sold out Jim Cuddy performance at The Forest-Festival. Package includes a meet and greet with Jim, signed poster, and preferred seating. Proceeds to the VolunteerDentalOutreach Program.2. Two tickets to Suzie Vinnick or any other of the $29 performances at The Forest Festival. Proceeds support the Haliburton County FolkSociety. Currently a steal at $7 for two tickets valued at $58.3. A loon carved out of soapstone created by Kim Warne of Soundings Studio. A steal once again at the $130 starting bid.
New Storefront In Minden
For the months of July and August (and perhaps longer) we have opened a storefront in Minden that is showcasing all the wonderful art you can find on the website. While not all of our artists were able to participate in this venture there is a good cross-section so that you can see the quality of the items on the site. Why not come in and take a look sometime soon?
The Forest Festival–Wednesday Aug 15 to Sunday August 19th, 2012

The Forest Festival is fast approaching–if you haven’t already done so please get your tickets on http://www.madeinhaliburton.ca/categories/Tickets/Forest-Festival/ . This is a one of a kind event that happens in the natural forest setting of the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Preserve. Some of the events happen at the Bone Lake Amphitheatre where you listen while the musicians entertain you from a stage floating on Bone Lake. You are surrounded by a canopy of stars that surround you as the sun sets during the performance. The alternative location, the LoggingMuseum, is an equally unusual and pleasant space from which to view such high quality entertainment. These happen rain or shine as the LoggingMuseum is also the alternative to the Bone Lake Amphitheatre if the weather does not cooperate. Why not try out one of these performances? There are a variety of musical genres to choose from.
