Barry Graham of the Cranbrook RCMP. Just kidding, folks! Many of Cranbrook's local celebrities and business owners found themselves locked up as a part of MADD Kimberley/Cranbrook's campaign to raise funds for its programs. Once picked up by officers at their place of business or arrested on the spot, the celebs had to raise a certain amount of money to bail themselves out. Katryna Sigurdson, MADD Kimberley and Cranbrook community leader, said the goal for the event was to raise $2,500. Of that Kenny Bridge, from Bridge Interiors, raised the notable sum of $1,110. Pictured at right: Radio personalities Derek Kortschaga, JJ Johanson of Bears Eatery in Kimberley and Steve Mercandelli of Cranbrook Dodge were among others who spent time locked up.
