The weekend is a fundraiser for the Aberdeen Hospital Palliative Care Society, whole Summer Street Industries will also benefit from a portion of the proceeds from the Jimmy Flynn show.
“We are also selling tables of eight for $200 – a savings of $40 – so grab some friends and come out to support these two great organizations,” co-organizer Mike MacNaughton said.
The 18th Annual MacDonald Cup Charity Golf Tournament will be held again this year at Glen Lovat Golf Club on Frasers Mountain, on July 15.
Flynn will also be participating in this year’s golf tournament, so “it should be an interesting day,” MacNaughton said.
