A fundraiser for the campaign of NDP candidate Norma Blissett will be held on Saturday, April 6 in Cranbrook.
Called "An Evening With...", the event will feature Fernie band The Bickertons, NDP figures Corky Evans and Anne Edwards, and an auction of NDP memorabilia.
Norma Blissett is running for election as MLA for Kootenay East in the May 14 provincial election.
The event will be held from 7 p.m. on Saturday at the Studio Stage Door in Cranbrook. Upstairs in the theatre, folk rock band The Bickertons will be playing.
"They have really accessible music," said campaign volunteer Dana Osiowy.
Downstairs in the studio, event attendees can meet Corky Evans and Anne Edwards, and learn more about Blissett's campaign.
