A good sized crowd including a table full of Snowbirds members  enjoyed a roast beef dinner and a really well done art auction at the Lethbridge Legion.

While things started slow, it was a full house by the end of the night including many members of the local art community.

Numerous local artists not only designed playing cards for decks of cards which are being sold to raise money for the Legion, but some of them actually The Necessities playing Shuffle Up and Deal. Photo by Richard Amerydesigned bigger pieces on actual pieces of Second World War Lancaster bombers.

These went over very well, raising  between 200-$500 each for a total of over $2,000 in addition to smaller prizes including several donated by the Snowbirds including autographed model planes with rugs and other items.

Aaron Hagan and Rick Gillis were personable hosts dressed in military fatigues.
 There was a lot of live music supplied by the Necessities who played a strong set of original music after the Perlich brothers finished auctioning off the items. Matt Robinson also performed.
