A funky fundraiser for the skatepark. Wunderbread was on stage at the Gabriola Island Community Hall this past Saturday, a feature performance with all monies raised going towards the Keep on Pushin’ Campaign for a skatepark at Huxley Community Park. The evening also featured a live auction, with multiple packages selling for over $400 each. A final tally on how much had been raised was still being calculated at press time, but looks to have pushed the KOP campaign close to, and even over, the $60,000 mark. Derek Kilbourn photo
