Rations March 23, 2008


During wartime when supplies were hard to find and buy, food rationing became very common and so did the Canadian Government's ration books. Check out one of these in todays updates along with a Northwestern Creamery freebie that people today call S.W.A.G. (stuff we all get).

GET YOUR TICKETS

Don't miss out on the party. Because everyone had such a blast at last years Hall Of Fame induction, "Lightning" Len Siemens and Ernie Neiderer have taken it upon themselves to organize the "HOF Night Out" on Saturday April 5. That's right, no pomp and circumstance, just a fun evening with music and old friends. Cruel Shoes Rockin Blues Band will be our host(s) with the "Who's Who" of local music legends making appearances throughout the night. There will be door prizes, a silent auction and more fun than we should be allowed. If you've been inducted into the HOF, you and a guest are absolutely FREE. If not, it's the best $10. a head you'll ever spend this year. In fact, why not call up your old band mates and get a table together. Order your tickets today by e mailing [email protected] with the heading "Tickets" so you won't be left out of the fun. Proceeds from this event benefit "Victoria's Rock & Roll, Music Hall Of Fame"
