Local boy won the guitar this year, I know he can dance but now I gotta hear him play... Designing a poster each year for the raffle is a lot of fun, and then we auction the 24" x 36" poster off to defray costs and someone has a very cool collection...The artist who originally designed the poster featuring the magician Carter is not credited, only the Otis Lithograph Co. of Cleveland 1926. I have tried not to destroy the effects of the beautiful image...whilst having my way with it. |

Very unique tribute raffle... |
For many years our
friend Mike Pearson joined us as a student during our annual
Blues Camp.
The camp, the blues community and the music were a passion with him...
The camp, the blues community and the music were a passion with him...
Mike built this
guitar in the last year of his life, and before passing away told his family and
friends that he wished to donate his labour of love to The Hornby Island
Blues Society to raffle for a Blues scholarship.
Mike’s special
presence will remain part of our Blues Workshop Family...his big hearted
spirit remembered in this unique raffle which will cycle his
guitar back each year.

31, 1957 – October 9, 2015)
