It was an evening of fun and fundraising as the Cowichan Lake Chamber of Commerce held its Spring Fling at the curling rink.
A hundred lucky folks who were able to buy a ticket got to talk to the 2017 Lady of the Lake royalty and to meet this year’s Lady of the Lake candidates, and listen to them give their first speeches, as well as checking out an exciting silent auction with widely varied items, a buffet dinner, a live auction, and more.
There were games and prizes as well, but the idea behind the event was to raise money for Chamber of Commerce programs, most notably the purchase of a trailer so the Chamber can go mobile and attend various events such as Sunfest, Lake Days, and Youbou Regatta.
