MIDDLEBURY — The public is invited to join the Friends of Middlebury Hockey in a fundraiser for the Memorial Sports Center this Saturday, April 13, at Notte, 86 Main St., in downtown Middlebury.
The group will celebrate Middlebury’s commitment to “Heat it up!” at Memorial Sports Center, as it will soon be able to complete the 2nd floor of our town’s shared home for ice hockey and family recreation. This second floor work will complete work that was started in 2008.
The Notte event is a thank you to the more than 300 local families and businesses that have contributed to the fundraising effort and an opportunity to enjoy an evening of music from local legends the Horse Traders. The event begins at 5 p.m., music will be performed 6:30 to 9 p.m. Admission is $15 at the door.
The evening will also serve as a fundraiser, with admissions and raffle proceeds going towards the “Heat it up!” campaign. Local businesses and supporters of Memorial Sports Center have donated prizes for a raffle that will also benefit the 2nd floor “Heat It Up” campaign.
Prizes include, among many other things, a Boston Bruins jersey autographed by the 2018-19 team; your choice of a season pass to Middlebury Snow Bowl or a season membership to Ralph Myhre Golf Course, a one-week stay at a house adjacent to Pinehurst Golf Course in North Carolina during the U.S. Amateur Championship, a $500 gift card to Woodware, a one night stay for two at the Inn on the Green and a private hockey lesson with Panther hockey legend Bill Beaney.
Raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the event and in advance at Forth ‘N Goal Sports and from your Friends of Middlebury Hockey.
For families with children ages 8 and up, Marquis Theater will offer supervised childcare for the price of a movie ticket ($8). Contact Kim Cook at [email protected] to reserve childcare at the Marquis and for details about the evening. Pre-purchase of a movie ticket will be required to reserve your child’s spot.
