The ART of WINE, the 5th annual SMS Equipment wine auction in support of Big Brothers Big
Sisters Wood Buffalo will take place on Saturday, September 27th at the Fort McMurray
Sawridge Inn & Conference Centre. This annual event is in support of the safe and caring

model.

Works will be auctioned, in the silent auction portion of the event with all proceeds going to
BBBSWB to help continue their programming.
All artists whose works are chosen will be invited to attend that evening to enjoy the event and
