tions. It involves almost 300 volunteers and 1400 hours to take in donations, sort them and get it set up. Many community members look forward to the event every year, saving up their used items for donation and taking advantage of the great deals the sale has to offer.

There is often a line up to get in when they open their doors on Friday evening, and the event draws thousands of people to Kemptville every year. The first one was held in the spring of 1960, before the hospital opened its doors in June of the same year. The event is the KDH Auxiliary’s major fundraising effort. All the money raised at Hey Day goes towards the purchase of vital equipment for the KDH. Equipment such as pain pumps, an ECG machine, defibrillator/ monitor, warming blankets, a patient lift and smart beds just to name a few, are used to enhance patient care. 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 sale opens on Friday (June 6) at 6pm and runs until 9pm, and again on Saturday (June 7) from 9am to 1pm.
