On Saturday, Oct. 27, the Blyth
Festival will be hosting its biennial
gala dinner and auction, this year
with a new theme - Elves and
Angels. Complete with ribbons and

volunteers.
To date over 100 donors have
generously supported this event.
Travel packages and weekend
getaways, one-of-a-kind
collectables, artwork, and themed
gift baskets including items from
body care to preserves and home
baking are available to the highest
bidder.
The evening begins at 5:15 p.m.

generously donated by Colio Estate
Wines. A dinner served by Between
Friends Catering from Exeter and
music by Huron Harp Ensemble will
both add to the celebration.
NJS Design has donated use of the
ever-popular chocolate fountain and
Tom Melady will MC the event.
Richard Lobb, auctioneer, will
maximize bids during a dynamic live
auction. Guests will be first to hear
Eric Coates, artistic director,
announce his plans for the 2008
season.
Three opportunities are available
to take part in this event. Consider
donating an item or service on
behalf of a business or make a
monetary donation to help co-
ordinate one-of-a-kind exciting
travel packages. People are also
invited to attend this event but
tickets are limited and going quickly
at $40.
Monetary gifts are full tax
creditable and all donors will be
recognized in the Elves and Angels
auction catalogue, the Blyth Festival
members’ newsletter Curtain Call
and on the Festival website.
“During my time on the board, I
have seen how the festival enriches
the lives of people in our community
through distinctively Canadian
programming,” says auction chair
Trish Trenter. “This auction is a way
for us to promote local business and
attractions while raising the much
needed funds to continue our work.”
The Blyth Festival has produced
102 new, Canadian plays over the
last 33 years. The Festival is a non-
profit, charitable company that relies
on fundraising, memberships and
donations to provide for daily
operations of the annual summer

family.
