Four New Plates Posted

Shatner, Dickinson, Idonije and McEwan are all complete and ready to be viewed, see the side bar of images.

As the Christmas momentum starts to pick up in our daily lives and working environments, End Hunger Brandon will begin to slow down its pace and resume all activities on December 27, 2011. Tickets for the big event will still be available at the Victoria Inn front desk and would make fantastic holiday gifts.

We wish you all a Happy Holiday Season and look forward to seeing you in the new year.
