Officials with the Cape Breton Horseowner's Association have sent out a reminder in regard to the ‘Raise the Roof’ auction and dance, which will be taking place this Saturday (May 2). Proceeds from the event will go towards raising the roof of the grandstand at Northside Downs.

The auction and dance will take place at the Emera Center in North Sydney.

There are a limited number of tickets still available. The cost of a ticket is only $5. Tickets can be purchased from Blair MacKenzie, Melissa Hawco, Diane Collins and Keri MacAskill.

Viewing of the auction items will begin at 6:30 p.m. and the auction will start at 7 p.m. with auctioneer Shane Ryan. A dance will follow, which music by a deejay. The kitchen will be open for food purchases.
