The bidding should be fast and furious during an auction at the fifth annual Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat Gala, May 11th at the Tim Horton Event Centre.
Habitat foundation member Dean Breathat says items up for grabs include a four-day, all-inclusive fly-in fishing trip for two to Kesagami Lake Lodge.
And there’s something for Leafs fans, too.
“We have two Leafs jerseys,” Breathat tells My Cochrane Now Dot Com. “One’s going to be Nazem Kadri, which is autographed, and there’s Mitch Marner. I’m not sure if it’s autographed yet, we’re trying to get it autographed, and there’ll be two Maple Leafs tickets for next year, in the gold bowl.
“We’ll also have trivia games, a photo booth, there’s live musical entertainment during the dinner and DJ entertainment for the dance and yeah, it usually comes out to be a pretty good time.”
Only 200 tickets are being sold, and Breathat says they’re going fast.
All the money raised will go to conservation, education and research at the Polar Bear Habitat.
