Why do I need Tickets if the event is free?


New this year we are asking everyone planning to attend the Ignition Night event to order tickets in advance on the website.  By ticketing the event we can better match expected crowds to the amount of  hotdogs, cookies, hot chocolate and Tim Bits  we need to have on hand so that we don't run out. And yes, all food and refreshments are still free on Ignition Night.    The tickets are free, you don't even need to bring them on December 1st, they will not be validated the night of the event and if you don't have tickets, you are still welcome to attend.  You also have the option to make a donation to help support our organization when you order your tickets online.
