The one-night variety show on Saturday at the Northern Lights Performing Arts Pavilion in Haliburton raised a record $18152 (more was donated since the cheque presentation) for Fuel for Warmth a charitable organization that provides emergency assistance to those who are unable to afford to heat their homes. Last year the event raised a little more than $4000.
