Ready, Set, PULL In Listowel

Listowel's Olympia ice resurfurcer is part of a hospital fundraiser and this weekend's Paddyfest parade.

Listowel resident Chris Kurz will be wearing a harness and pulling the Olympia through the parade.

"Our local hospital is in need of some portable ultrasound machines," says Kurz.  "The goal was $15,000 which buys two machines. We are currently sitting at $11,000 raised."

People will be walking with Kurz during the Paddyfest parade and collecting donations.  This weekend's parade starts at 11am.
