To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Orangeville Blues and Jazz Festival, we have commissioned a local wood sculptor to create a commemorative carving.
  The carving will stand nearly ten feet high and will be located at the entrance of Alexandra Park - the site of the RE/MAX Main Stage.
We are inviting you to be a part of this celebration and have launched a Tree Hugger Campaign to raise funds for the carving.
People who donate $20 and up will receive a tax receipt from the Town of Orangeville and a special Tree Hugger lapel pin in the shape of how the carving will look.
