From the organizer:

You asked and we listened! The S&S open house is back and it’s going to be the biggest one yet! Make sure you come down on July 6th for another great day of free BBQ lunch, big ticket and one off raffle prizes and of course, some of the [coolest] local cars, trucks and bikes! This is the first year we will be introducing the People’s Choice Award, so make sure your ride is looking it’s best! Don’t forget to bring some cash if you want to purchase any raffle tickets, bake sale items or if anything catches your eye at the ‘Garage Sale’. Remember all proceeds go straight to the Guelph Humane Society!

Can’t wait to see everyone there!!
