On behalf of the Aurora Winter Blues Festival (AWBF) Organizing Committee, we\u2019d like to thank the residents of Aurora for their continued support of the AWBF.
\nOur 4th annual Festival held February 19 to 21 was yet again another tremendous success from the incredible performances, attendance, supporting community events and the increased awareness and support for our charitable benefactors Blue Door Shelters and Community & Home Assistance to Seniors (CHATS) in which $15,000 was raised bringing our total fundraising to $40,000 over 4 years!
\nThe continued growth and success of the AWBF would not be possible without the support of our many sponsors, local business donations, media partners and volunteers \u2013 to all of you we extend our much appreciated thanks for your time, effort and generosity.
\nWe\u2019d also like to express our gratitude to the Aurora Public Library, Aurora Cultural Centre, Theatre Aurora, The ARTS Music Store and our local bar partners (King Richard\u2019s and Jonathan\u2019s), along with all their great staff, for the support they have given the Festival and the joint programming to showcase many of our talented, local youth musicians\/bands. A final thank you to the AWBF Organizing Committee \u2013 a special group of 14 individuals who believe in giving back to the community and make it all happen!
\nWe are excited to be recognized this month by Festivals & Events Ontario as one of the Top 100 Festivals and Events across Ontario in 2015. This is quite an honor and will lend itself well as we prepare for our milestone 5th Annual Aurora Winter Blues Festival in 2016!
\nEnjoy the many summer Blues festivals across this great and talented country!<\/p>\n
