Storage facility transformed into banquet hall

Things are all ready to go for tonight’s  Leaside 100 Gala dinner to be held in the All Canadian Storage Facility on Laird Drive. The building has been transformed into a series of venues for the reception, dining and dancing. Inset left, MCs Dave Sparrow and Deb McGrath polish up a couple of routines and right, a 1928 Durant sedan which was manufactured at  the company’s plant on Wicksteed Ave. Guests may have their pictures taken with this great old vehicle and we will guess that after a couple of glasses of fine wine there will be lots of hamming it up on the running board. We’re thinking. The long banquet room is fully fixed up with screens so no one will miss anything that happens on stage. Prime Minister Harper will join other dignitaries at about 6.45 to kick off the evening.  Previous post two down.  (Saturday, April 27, 2013)
