Fire and Ice Gala raises money for Billy Bishop Museum

One of the major fundraisers for the Billy Bishop Museum is set for early May in Owen Sound.

The Fire & Ice Gala is a ladies night offering wine, a meal, a silent auction, and raffle.

A live purse auction is the highlight of the evening, as one of those handbags contains a Tanzanite and Diamond, set in a 14kt White Gold ring donated by D.C. Taylor Jewellers.

The Museum is a not-for-profit charity and National Historic Site that is open year round for visitors. The Gala will be hosted by Best Western Inn on the Bay, Owen Sound.

Tickets are $80 each and can be purchased online at www.billybishopmuesum.org/events
