Congratulations to Michael and Kerry-Anne Cartile of Montreal, Quebec – winners of the 2013 Friends of Murphys Point Park canoe raffle! The ticket was purchased at the Park Store in August. (Ticket #1301)
Thanks to everyone who purchased a ticket to support Friends’ activities – your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Time is running out for you to get your raffle tickets for our annual draw! Again this year we are offering a beautiful 16-foot Trailhead Prospector Canoe, which is on display at the Park Store. The fibreglass canoe comes with ash web seats, a flat ash yoke, vinyl gunnels, two paddles and two PFDs and is valued at $1,500. Proceeds from the raffle go toward Friends’ activities and programs.
Tickets are on sale at the Park Store for $2 each or 3 for $5. The draw will be held this Sunday, Sept. 1 at 2 p.m. at Hogg Bay Beach. Be sure to check out the great sale of Friends’ merchandise in the store while you are there, and click on the owl on the right to see all the great activities at the park this weekend!
Please support the Friends!
Like it or not, summer is marching on…and while that’s unhappy news for those of us who like to spend our days frolicking at Murphys Point, it’s great news for anyone looking for a bargain on Friends’ merchandise at the Park Store!
