Air Combat Zone!

Attention all you urban Top Gun (ers)!

We have received word from Air Combat Zone, (ACZ Mississauga) that two people will be needed to accept a high flying mission into Awesometown!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to spend 90 minutes training and flying live action, head-to-head combat with one of your friends in the cockpit of a CF-18 Hornet Jet Fighter flight simulators! From signing in at flight ops, right through to your return to base, missions at Air Combat Zone are a completely unique entertainment experience from start to finish. Relax in the ready room until your mission launch time, complete your flight and combat skills training, attend the pre-mission briefing and then you're off to take to the sky on a mission in CF-18 Hornet combat flight simulators. Your mission will be the most fun and realistic fighter pilot experience available without joining the Air Force.

If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to be a real F/A-18 pilot, now’s your chance to find out. The Air Combat Zone experience redefines entertainment to bring you the thrill of a lifetime!


*no previous flying experience necessary.

This amazing experience will be added to the Mardi-Bras silent auction, so get there early and get in your bid!











Thank you SO much Air Combat Zone!

Odd Bird Designs

Just got word from Tara of Odd Bird Designs that Mardi-Bras will receive another 10 of her one-of-a-kind domino pendants! These were a big hit in the silent auction last year.

Odd Bird transforms ordinary little objects into pieces of unique jewelry. Inspired by game pieces and bric-a-brac, Odd Bird sets out to create mixed media pieces that are decidedly quirky yet fun to wear. Odd Bird is for those who want to stand out from the flock!

Tara Campbell has always enjoyed alternative crafting. She is a member of the Fresh Collective (designers' co-op) in Toronto and also works in the animation industry. Check her out online at her site or on her Etsy shop!


Thanks so much Tara of Odd Bird!
