Save the date! Kemptville District Hospital Auxiliary hosting Hey Day on June 5 & 6

Hey Day is celebrating its 65^th anniversary this year – the first Hey Day was held in June of 1961!

The Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) Auxiliary invites you to its major fundraising garage sale, which brings in tens of thousands of dollars for the hospital each year. Hey Day is set for Friday, June 5 and Saturday, June 6 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre arena.

“Hey Day started as a small community event to raise funds for our hospital, and now here we are – over six decades later – keeping the tradition going,” said Sandi Kelly, Hey Day Convenor. “We’re looking forward to welcoming back our wonderful volunteers and community shoppers! As always, every dollar raised is going to the hospital, so please mark your calendars for June 5 and 6.”

Last year’s Hey Day raised over $50,000 for KDH, and over $55,000 was raised the year prior, in 2024. It’s one of the largest indoor garage sales in eastern Ontario and features all kinds of treasures, from books to home décor, to clothing and toys, electronics and sporting goods, plants and baked goods, jewellery and more!

Hey Day is run entirely by volunteers and supported through community donations. All proceeds go towards the purchase of equipment and services in support of patient care.
