Pledge-o-Rama
On top of these items, I am also offering up a Saturday afternoon historic hotels walking tour and pub crawl for those who pledge to UMFM through our show at the $40 or higher level. The tour, which I will post more details about next week, is a 2 hour 15 minute tour that includes The Winnipeg, the Garrick, The Woodbine and the Vendome Hotel. A few minutes of history out front, then at three of the locations, we step inside for a quick beer and to look at period newspaper ads and photographs.
For more details, you can email me at cassidy-at-mts.net or, if you want to pre-pledge, as tour numbers are limited, you can do so online at the website above or by calling 204-474-7027. If you pledge in advance you are still entitled to the gifts and prizes noted on the website !
