Ladies Night
Yet another resounding success!
  Who'll be on Stage at the 2006 Russell Fair...
 

The ladies certainly saddled up their horses to raise a hay load of cash for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.  At total of $ 30,579.00 was generated as a result 600 ladies enjoying a roottintootin’ good time at the Russell Arena on May 5th.

With a wonderful meal, served up in record time, by Al Graham and his staff from AJ catering in Metcalfe, superb MC’ing from radio host Mauler and Rush of Hot 89.9 and the amazing auctioneers Erin James, Stewart James JR and Steven James, the evening was fast-paced and ran smoothly.

Yee Haw!No commentary could be complete without mentioning the wonderful support from our community men, 9 groups of Guy’s with the Goods, who more than presented their goods to a room packed with screaming, yet discerning, ladies.

A great big thanks to all who donated items for the auction and to all our sponsors.  A special thanks to the event’s major sponsors: Scotia Bank, Chez Lili Party Rentals and Musik Express.
