The sizzle returns to Owen Sound with the hottest annual fundraising event, The Fire & Ice Gala, Friday, April 6th at the Best Western Inn on the Bay.

Celebrating the life of Owen Sound's own and Canadian hero, Billy Bishop, the ladies night out event features exciting silent auction items, amazing draw prizes and the highlight of the evening is the Live Purse Auction, where one purse contains the "ice" generously donated by D.C. Taylor Jewellers.

The cocktail reception, features hors d'oeuvres and a complimentary glass of wine. Contributing to the festivities will be local heroes, members of the Owen Sound Professional Firefighters Association. They will be serving the ladies dinner, then assisting auctioneer Bill Walker with the live purse auction.

Located on 3rd Avenue West in the heart of Owen Sound, the Billy Bishop Home and Museum was designated a National Historic Site in 2002 and continues to be a living tribute to the hometown hero. The proceeds from the Fire & Ice Gala allow the Museum to continue to upgrade exhibits, provide quality community and education programs as well as continue to present Veterans programs to honour those who served and continue to serve.

Tickets are $80pp or for a table of eight (bring all your friends) $70pp. Contact Diane Sprung at [email protected] or 519-371-0031 to book your tickets today.
