/

The Kawartha Haliburton Children’s Foundation and Century 21 United Realty Inc. are joining together to present the Barnyard Benefit Concert, in support of the Salvation Army Toy Drive and Kawartha Haliburton Children’s Foundation’s Santa’s Sleigh, on Sunday, Nov. 7.

The Barnyard Benefit Concert will be held at Hollowbrook Highlands in Bethany Hills, formerly South Pond Farms. The Verandah Society with Kate Suhr and Megan Murphy will perform with special musical guest Irish Millie.

“For so many years we’ve participated in the Salvation Army Toy Drive as a company,” said Vanessa Oakehogan, owner of Century 21. “ We do our best to raise money as a team so we can go buy gifts to donate.”

Attendees can enjoy music all afternoon, as well as trail walks, a silent auction, chili by campfire and a cash bar.

The Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Foundation’s Santa’s Sleigh, takes place at Walmart on Chemong Road in Peterborough from Nov. 25 to Dec. 6.

Participants choose a child’s name from a Christmas tree, shop, then drop gifts off in Santa’s Sleigh. The donated toys are delivered by Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Aid Society social workers for children to open on Christmas Day.

The Barnyard Benefit Concert is sponsored by Holiday Ford Lincoln.

Tickets are $75 and can be purchased at the door or by emailing vanessaoakehogan@gmail.com.
