SNAFU Fixed ~ VIP Tickets added to Chamber Live Auction

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

It’s been one of those days.  First I learned that a poster and banner that I had proofed and approved had the wrong song title on it.  Then I find out we somehow didn’t get the information on our donation to the Chamber Auction to the right person.  But Vickie raced around, made a bunch of phone calls, opened up PhotoShop and was able to save the day.

Why do you care?  Because you can now go to the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce Auction on Thursday at 5pm at Woodmans and bid on 2 VIP Tickets to Orleans LIVE in concert on Friday, August 31 at North Shore Music Theatre.  And if you’ve been following GMG today, you’ll know who’s opening (click here if you missed the announcement).

VIP tickets are really the way to go to a concert.  You get the best seats, 3 course gourmet dinner (see menu here) Meet & Greet with the stars, pre-show party, free premium parking, a special gift from Orleans’ personal vault and more.  See details here.

The Auction has other spectacular items too and you always get a good deal, so if you like getting good stuff for less than it’s worth, be sure to go.  If you don’t already have Auction tickets contact Tim Burton at tim@capeannchamber.com or call 978-283-1601.

Now, have a look at the poster to the right.  Leave a comment correcting the incorrect song title and we’ll enter you into a contest to win free tickets.

Our own Paul Morrison is registered for the Blackburn Challenge number 124 in his Wilderness Systems Sealution 16” 6 Kayak with the GMG Stickers all over it.  Just look for the funky spiked up gray hair- That’s out guy!

You can read about Paul’s yearlong training regimen for the Blackburn Challenge here It will be interesting to see if Paul comes back whole or if the Great White uses his Kayak for a toothpick after thoroughly enjoying Paul’s Monkeybread lined intestines for a mid-morning snack.
