LIVE AUCTION HIGHLIGHTS

Sport's Night Out



This is a Leaf fan's dream. Start out the night with dinner for four at Turtle Jack's Muskoka Grill in Burlington. Turtle Jack's provides quality casual dining with freshly prepared foods and an atmosphere that sports fans love! TVs are spread throughout the bar and restaurant, with satellite TV showing all sporting events. After a great meal, step into the limo that will take you to and from the ACC, where you and three friends can use the four (count 'em, four) tickets to a 2009/2010 regular season Leaf game. After the game, get back into the limo and head home with a hockey stick signed by the entire 2008/09 Leafs team. With names that are the stuff of legends – Toskala, Joseph, Schenn, Kaberle, Stajan and more – this is a wonderful piece of Leaf memorabilia! GO LEAFS GO!
