FESTIVUS ROCKS

Monday, November 23rd saw the return of one of our favourite events – Festivus (for the rest of us!).  The annual jam session raises funds for Christmas Daddies’ Charity and this year featured some of Halifax’s favourite talent, including the boys from Ten Mile House, Shameless, Shaydid, Gravity, Wreckhouse, and Cory Tetford. A fifty/fifty prize of $275 was donated back to the charity, and proceeds from the raffle on a donated guitar from Long & McQuade added $375.  Total proceeds from the event added up to $2223, which we’re hoping will make several kids’ Christmases a lot merrier.  Thanks to all the bands who donated their time and talent, and everyone who showed up to make the evening the great time it was.  Check out the pics in our photo gallery and see you all next year!
