*Gala Fundraiser at Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa *

*March 1, 2012 *(Harrison Mills, BC)

Kilby Historic Site invites you to a Gala Fundraiser at the renowned 
Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa on Saturday, March 10th.

The doors open at 5:30 starting off with a Silent Auction and no host 
bar. Enjoy the Resort's famous three course buffet which begins at 6:30 
pm. Edith Wallace will entertain you from 7:30 until 8:30. At 9 pm the 
Silent Auction will end and the evening will come to a close.

All proceeds from this event go directly towards the preservation and 
sustainability of Kilby Historic Site. The museum is operated by a 
non-profit society that preserves the Kilby museum for local residents, 
visitors and future generations; delivers educational programming; 
creates local employment, and increases tourism in our region.

Thomas Kilby opened Kilby General Store in 1906.  His son, Acton, took 
over the store in 1922, which is reflected in the era that Kilby 
Historic Site represents.  After a lifetime of collecting memorabilia, 
Acton turned the store into a museum in 1977.

Today, Kilby General Store is a world class 1920s Fraser Valley living 
history site, complete with costumed interpreters. This 5-acre BC 
Heritage 
<http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/heritage/historic_sites/kilby_store.htm>

Hotel & Post Office, as well as friendly farm animals and orchard 
playground. Site facilities include our quaint home-style restaurant,

We invite you to support local heritage while enjoying a memorable 
evening out! Tickets are $50 per person. Please call Kilby Historic Site
