NEWS RELEASE 
CRAIGLEITH HERITAGE DEPOT
***************************

Have a fun night out and support local filmmaking with live music.

The Craigleith Heritage Depot is having a Leap Year Dance to raise money for the next films in the Museum’s award-winning series “REEL History.” The dance will be on Saturday, Feb. 29 at the Beaver Valley Community Centre in Thornbury. A cash bar and food will keep you moving on the dance floor to music from Bored of Education.

Explore our Leap Year Lounge where you can view teasers of the next two films and take part in our Penny Sale for a chance at some great prizes. The Penny Sale will ‘draw’ the night to a close. All items will be on display at the Blue Mountains Public Library, with the Penny Sale starting February 1.

Over the last two years the Craigleith Heritage Depot has created five films that have gained world-wide attention. As a small town Museum, it’s important to our community to share its history of The Blue Mountains and make it accessible to everyone. In 2020 the Museum is making two new films about The Blue Mountains natural history and would like your support.

Tickets are $75 (include a $50 tax receipt) and are on sale at the Blue Mountains Public Library in Thornbury. That’s $25 for a good night out and $50 to put your local history on the big screen.

Celebrate an extra day this year while supporting a great local project.
