Jim Cuddy and Suzie Vinnick Auction Items

Just letting everyone know that the Suzie Vinnick tickets that were on auction were won for a mere $40! A great deal for that savvy bidder. The 2 Jim Cuddy tickets that were paired with a meet and greet with Jim, preferred seating and a signed poster went for $400. We are working with our website designer to find a way to have completed auctions left up on the page so people can see the winning bids. Until we can accomplish that please keep an eye on the blog for such news.

Remember that the other 2 sets of Jim Cuddy tickets that are in support of the Arts Council Haliburton Highlands are still on the auction block .. just one more day .. last chance to get tickets!! These don’t come with the extra perks of the first pair but, the show will look great from wherever you sit!

There are still tickets left for all the other performances at The Forest Festival which starts on Wednesday. Please buy them at www.MadeInHaliburton.ca .

Why not take a trip to Minden and meet George Farrell at the www.MadeInHaliburton.ca gallery.
