Over $10,700 was collected through this two day event that featured a gently used clothing sale, fashion and variety show, silent auction, BBQ and a successful draw for a magnificent Doll House built be a Sandycove resident. This now brings the eight year total to $55,500 all of which has gone to the RVH Simcoe Muskoka Regional Cancer Centre. FANTASTIC JOB…….
