WE HAVE A WINNER!!

November 15th was Draw Day for the Chester Art Centre's Draw 350. Martin Karlsen, President and CEO of Polar Star Expeditions was on hand to pick the winning ticket, as were a good number of CAC board members and supporters from the community. (Don't worry, photos to come.)

The prize was an expedition for two aboard the MV Polar Star. Nineteen days and 19 nights exploring the ice, the islands and the wildlife of the Antarctic peninsula and the South Antarctic Islands - the South Orkneys, the Falklands and the South Georgias. The value of the cruise? A cool $27,000 U.S.

And the winner is - Mike Ryan, of Halifax, Nova Scotia. He'll be off to Ushuaia, Argentina at the end of February to claim his cruise.

Thanks to everyone who bought tickets. The money raised will be put to good use in the various programs and activities offered by the Chester Art Centre. Your support is very much appreciated.
