BEDFORD: More than $3,000 was raised for students in the school band at Georges P. Vanier Junior High.

The band held an auction recently at Riverside Pub & Eatery in Bedford, where almost 100 items were auctioned off.

The students assisted with the auction by showing off the items through the room to close to approximately 100 attendees, some who were parents of the students.

The funds raised are going to offset the trip the band students are planning for next year.

Here are some photos from the auction as snapped by our Pat Healey:
