July 3rd, 2010 - Lillooet's 150th Birthday Homecoming featuring Prism & Chilliwack
Anyone who has ever lived in, visited or wants to visit Lillooet, come celebrate Lillooet’s 150th Birthday & Homecoming event on July 3, 2010. Come and renew friendships over dinner (included) and enjoy a classic Canadian rock concert featuring two rock legends - Chilliwack and Prism. This event has been organized by some long-term Lillooetans, not for the purpose of making a profit, but simply to bring something new and exciting to Lillooet and to create a fun way to re-unite with childhood friends and family. Any profits made will go towards a future re-union and some local charities.
Tickets are $100 for dinner and concert (5pm start) and $75 for concert only (8pm start).
You can purchase your tickets in the following ways: Online through Ticket Masters, or locally at either the Sears Outlet (155 Main St, Lillooet, 250-256-4252, 1-800-26SEARS) or Winners Edge (644 Main St, Lillooet, 250-256-4848)
This event includes a band and BBQ at Fraser Cove Campground. We are hoping to include some sturgeon fishing lessons as well. It will be open to all members, their employees and families. Stay tuned for more information.
