TBCA Auction continues: Lightfoot, Norm, Cochrane memorabilia on the block
A third batch of items from the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium (TBCA) are up for auction from now to May 8 at 8:00 pm.
The TBCA 40th Anniversary auction serves as a fundraising initiative for the iconic local event space, with all proceeds supporting renovations and new additions to the auditorium.
“We have a lot of history over the last 40 years,” Edwards said. “We don’t want (valuable items) collecting dust in our archives. It felt right to celebrate our past and let items go into the community where they can appreciate them.”
The first round highlighted artists who had an extensive history of playing at the TBCA. It featured signed guitars from regulars Alan Doyle, Jim Cuddy, Greg Keeler, Paul Brandt and Johnny Reid.
The second round featured a surfboard signed by the Beach Boys, a longboard signed by Cheech and Chong, and a guitar signed by Megan Patrick among other memorabilia.
Here’s what’s on the block for round three:
- Guitars signed by Steve Earle, Ronnie Dunn, The Rival Sons, Headstones, The Glorious Sons, Pavlo and Jesse Cook
- Posters signed by Jeff Beck, David Crosby, Gordon Lightfoot, The Counting Crowes, Norm Macdonald, Tom Cochrane, Simple Plan, Jim Jefferies, Michael Bolton and more
- The Tenors Package: signed microphone, tote bag, 2 mugs, CD, DVD and T-shirt
- Diana Krall Package: signed microphone and tour keepsake photo album
- Drum Skin signed by members of April Wine
