Kemptville District Hospital Auxiliary invites you to 62nd annual Hey Day

The Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) Auxiliary is pleased to present the 62^nd edition of Hey Day on June 6 and 7. The major fundraising event is being held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre arena (285 County Road 44, Kemptville).\

Hey Day is a long-standing tradition in Kemptville that dates back to before the hospital opened its doors. It’s considered one of the largest indoor garage sales in eastern Ontario, with all proceeds going directly to KDH. Hey Day is run entirely by volunteers and supported through community donations.

Hey Day features a wide variety of items, including clothing, linens, books, toys, sports equipment, electronics, housewares, décor, plants, baked goods, jewellery, furniture and more!

Thanks to Les Winters from Fat Les’, we’ll also be taking over the canteen at the Arena for sales of food and drinks, with all proceeds going to the hospital.

The Auxiliary is looking for volunteers to help sort donations and set up for the sale. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact the Auxiliary by emailing kdha.heyday@gmail.com or calling 613-447-4492.

Donation can be dropped off at the municipal centre on Wednesday, June 4 (1pm – 7pm) and Thursday, June 5 (11am – 7pm). The sale opens on Friday (June 6) at 6pm and runs until 9pm, and again on Saturday (June 7) from 9am to 1pm.

The Auxiliary is also selling 50/50 tickets at Hey Day; don’t miss your chance because they sell fast!

“We’re trying something new this year by running a contest to win four VIP passes to Hey Day,” said Sandi Kelly, Hey Day Convenor. “The winner will get to be first in line at Hey Day on the Friday night, along with a $20 coupon to Lil’s Café for some refreshments. We also have a runner-up prize for a $10 coupon.”

The VIP contest is online, through the ‘Kemptville Hospital Auxiliary KDHA’ Facebook page, along with the KDH Auxiliary Instagram account. Participants will be asked to ‘Like’ and ‘Share’ the post featuring the VIP contest, and ‘Follow’ the Auxiliary on Facebook / Instagram to be entered into the random draw. The contest starts on May 28 and ends on June 4, so watch the Auxiliary’s Facebook page and Instagram account for more details.

“We thought this would be a fun way to spread the word about Hey Day,” said Kelly. “Our goal is to raise as much money as possible for the hospital, so please come out and support this wonderful event.”
