The photos are in!
I am now getting some of the images from the day! Look for the YouTube video that will be up this week. I’ll have a link here for it.

Heather and Bob arrived at the Hoot in style this year, in a Model T Ford that had just completed a transcontinental race displaying the ALS Logo and collecting funds along the way.

We have an interim total!
Money is still being counted, expenses gathered, but it would appear that we raised $31,000 on Saturday for ALS Research.
Thanks to Heather for inspiring this event. Thanks to our sponsors for making it possible. Thanks to you for coming to the party.

Bussing News
We’ll have Sharp’s busses running every 30 minutes on the hour and half hour from the pick up locations at the Glen Morris Community Centre, the Ayr Curling Club and the Ayr Arena. Please use them as parking is limited on site, and the road doesn’t have wide shoulders. It’s the green way to go.
Thank you again to Sharp Bus Lines for their generous support.

Another Generous Sponsor for the Hootenanny
Thank you to CRS– Contractors Rental Supply for generously donating three large barbeques and the propane to run them for our food tent at the Hootenanny.
Without the generous support of all of our sponsors we wouldn’t be able to have such a successful event. Please remember them when you are sourcing products for yourself or other events.
