Welcome Up Yer Kilt Scottish Gifts

Quick on the heels of our first official sponsor, Happy Harbor Comics, we’ve gained a second. Please join us in thanking Up Yer Kilt Scottish Gifts for hopping on board the ride.

The proprietors of Up Yer Kilt Scottish Gifts are well known in the Alberta Scottish community as friendly and generous individuals who are always willing to lend a helping hand. It doesn’t hurt that they also sell chanters, pointy sticks (knives & swords), and various other bits of Scottish regalia both online and at Highland Games across the province.

Up Yer Kilt Scottish Gifts sponsorship helps open new doors for our auction and solidifies the notion that Browncoats can be found just about anywhere in the ‘verse. We’re so happy to have them as a sponsor.

The Alberta Browncoats are very excited to announce our newest sponsor and silent auction donor: Tower of Song DJ and Videography Service.

The company owners Kevin and Dave have Hearts of Gold and have generously offered their DJ services for the auction block. So, if you’re planning a big Shindig, be it a wedding, Christmas party or company affair, don’t look any further. These are your guys.

Want to talk to them about their services before the Big Damn event? Call Kevin (780.904.6234) or Dave (780.902.9958) for more information.

Happy Harbor Comics

We are absolutely thrilled to announce our first official sponsor: Happy Harbor Comics.

Everyone in Edmonton knows that Happy Harbor is a supporter of the previous two CSTS events and just about every other shiny comics, sci-fi, and geek-tastic event held in Edmonton. It means the ‘verse to us that they’ve once again stepped up to the plate and been willing to associate their good name with our great cause.

What this means for you is that, when the time comes to purchase your tickets, you will have the option of buying them online (here) or purchasing them in person from one of Happy Harbor’s three locations across the city.

Vol.1: 12226 – Jasper Ave, Edmonton
Vol.2: 180 Manning Crossing, Edmonton
Vol.3: 10326 – 81 Ave, Edmonton
