The Night Before Christmas

Our Night Before Christmas foodbank fundraiser held on December 22nd at the Perth Legion was a huge success! Thanks to all the efforts of all of the volunteers and the extra support of local media at The Humm, Lake 88 and CBC radio, over 200 people attended this local event and danced all night long!

Because of everybody’s extreme efforts the foodbank will receive approximately $3000 after expenses. Also, the design and management of a web page which will allow the group to fundraise all year long has been donated by local business, Strategic Media Solutions . Planning and design for this site will begin in late January and will be in place with plenty of time for next year’s event.

Steve Tennant, Onsite Coordinator for Stewart Park Festival, has been involved since it’s beginning – this year’s festival being their 17th Annual. An advocate for adults with developmental disabilities by day, Steve’s love of live music has caused him to spend much of his spare time, when not playing old timer hockey and darts, attending live music events far and wide. He, with his far better half Susan and family, host house concerts under the banner “Music on McLean” in their home in lovely Perth . They’ve recently hosted concerts by The Laws, John Wort Hannam, Kim Beggs, Katherine Wheatley, Wendell Ferguson, Brock Zeman, Corrin Raymond, Andrew Neville, Doug Cox and Sam Hurrie. Steve also pens a music column in the Perth Courier entitled “Musical Musings”.
