Oxford's Got Talent and an online auction too

Promoting a big event for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oxford

For a young person to reach their potential they hopefully have many positive influences in their life.

For many an organization like Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oxford (BBBS) can be an integral part of this guidance process.

The local association (www.oxford.bigbrothersbigsisters.ca) has many exceptional mentoring programs.

One of the BBBS major fundraisers is occurring right now and since it also includes featuring local youth with talent it assists in their growth as well. The Big Night In -- Oxford's Got Talent is Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. and features Woodstock celebrity Greg Morton (www.gregmorton.com) as host along with judges including Dan Henry of Heart FM (104.7) and Mike Crabbe. Last year's winner Anna Belleth is scheduled to appear, but I'm guessing she is not a contestant.

Morton, who was already a well-known Woodstock entertainer through comedy and impressions, became a household name in North America when he was runner-up in the TV show America's Got Talent.

Read the website and maybe join a growing list of corporate sponsors,. If you look at the event page on Facebook you will see a list of many local companies who know an important agency when they see one.

BBBS executive director Kristen Ralph has worked for the association for several years and has a strong team of community-minded employees and members of the board. Quite simply, it's a great group of people doing important work in Oxford County.
