Valued at$424.35, you could win a one-night stay in a luxury – we’re not fooling when we say luxury – Balsam Ridge Forest Domes.

You can follow the league on Instagram or Facebook @the.mwba and @balsam_ridge_forest_domes or visit BRFD’s website at balsamridgeforestdomes.ca

The unique setting is located in Portage Vale, NB, Kings Co., near the shores of Fundy Bay.

Please ensure to include your name and contact email in the e-transfer description.

The deadline for entry is July 31, this year. A winner will be announced in August through social media and contacted through email. If a winner cannot be reached within seven days, a new draw will be held.

All proceeds will go toward MWBA operating expenses.
