Folks who wish to attend the popular annual Ducks Unlimited banquet and auction should buy their tickets now, as they sold out last year.
The 2014 event raised more than $22,000 for wetland conservation.
This year's 31st annual banquet and auction has a new venue, taking place at the 100 Mile Community Hall on Oct. 17. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the dinner is served at 6, followed by the auction.
Organizer Chris Nickless says more volunteers are "warmly welcomed."
As always, a wide variety of great merchandise will be on the auction block, along with plenty of prizes to be awarded, he adds.
"There will be something up for grabs for every member of the family, including the kids."
Tickets are $40 per person and available at Donex Pharmacy, Life Cycle Financial, 108 Supermarket, Royal Bank and the 100 Mile House Free Press, but they usually do sell out well in advance, and will not be available at the door.
For more information, call Chris at 250-395-2292 (ext. 208) or at 250-791-6616.
