The Leaside Smokedown event in aid of Lake Scugog Camps for children in need was held last night at the Amsterdam Brewers on Esandar Road. It was a barbecue, music and social triumph attended by about 220 people, the limit possible at the facility. Friday morning Andy Elder, an organizer and caterer to the event reported the Smokedown had raised a clear sum of more than $25,000 for donation to Lake Scugog Camps.
