"It's anticipated that the two hour family-oriented game will bring entertainment and a few laughs to the audience, while raising money for a worthwhile cause," says Houston/Granisle Detachment Commander, Sergeant Stephen Rose.

In addition to the main event, there will be games for the kids including a puck toss, a 50-50 draw for the 'big' kids, and dozens of door prizes.  The game is set for 3pm on Monday at the Claude Parish Memorial Arena.  Tickets are $5 and are available at the RCMP Detachment, Fire Hall, Chamber of Commerce, and the Bulkley Valley Credit Union.
