Between Nov 15 and 30th, Ebay will be the spot for those interested in bidding on two of the guitars (models LV and L). The third guitar (model M) will be raffled, with the draw to be held on Saturday, July 9, 2011 at the Mariposa Folk Festival. All proceeds go to the Mariposa Folk Foundation and Streets Alive. Specific ticket and bidding information to follow!
Each guitar has been signed by all of the performers at the 50th Anniversary of the Mariposa Folk Festival in 2010. The autographs of Gordon Lightfoot, Sylvia Tyson, Jim Cuddy, Greg Keilor, Murray McLauchlan, Ian Tyson, Mose Scarlett and the Whiteley Brothers and others, are woven in with the signatures of those who founded the Mariposa Folk Festival. Cradled among these legends are the folk icons of tomorrow, such as David Francey, Suzie Vinnick, Matt Anderson, Deep Dark Woods, David Gunning, Lynn Miles, Ashley MacIsaac, Catherine MacLellan, Serena Rider and Zeus. Each guitar is signed in its own unique random pattern on the face, sides and back.
