Railway fundraising gala exceeds expectations
The Friends of the Battle River Railway were very pleased to welcome 180 people to the Galahad Agriplex on Saturday, April 9 for an excellent evening.
The “Friends” organized this night as a fundraiser with the theme, “A little heat goes a long way!”
The evening’s fundraising was aimed at buying a H.E.P. car.
“Friends” board member Joanne McMahon says, “with this extra car, we will be able to provide power to our passenger car, therefore heat.
“To date we have been renting a large generator from Camrose, to run our much-needed heat. With this H.E.P. car, we will be able to alleviate that expense to our non-profit organization.”’
Saturday night, the Galahad Agriplex was transformed into a striking setting of red and black.
