There is a concert shot in the e-edition of the Orillia Packet & Times paper but you have to be a subscriber to be able to save the review and pic. I am ordering a hard copy of the paper today and will scan it when I receive it.

When the Orillia Opera House was able to make available a few last-minute tickets for the sold-out Gordon Lightfoot concerts on the weekend, those who were fortunate enough to snatch them up felt "like they had won the lottery."
That was how Krista Storey described the elation of those people and the excitement of everyone else who filed into the Opera House Saturday for the first of two shows.
Really, though, the Opera House and the Soldiers' Memorial Hospital (SMH) Foundation felt like they, too, had won the lottery.
Lightfoot is splitting the proceeds from the shows between the two institutions, both dear to the Orillia-born folk musician.
"The band members said Gordon always gets excited about performing here. This is home," said Storey, general manager of the Opera House.
After his Saturday concert, Lightfoot met with officials from the Opera House and SMH. He signed and tuned a guitar that will be auctioned off on the website eBay, with the proceeds going to SMH.
"It's a very special moment. Gord is such a wonderful supporter of the hospital," said SMH president and CEO Elisabeth Riley. "He's a legend in his own time, and it's great to see him support his hometown."
And it was "a thrill," she added, to see Lightfoot — who turns 71 tomorrow — perform live.
"I enjoyed it from beginning to end," Riley said.
The Opera House and SMH weren't the only ones to benefit from the concerts. The Opera House donated two tickets to the recent Kiwanis Auction, and they fetched $130 each, which will go back into the community.
"We pay it forward," Storey said.
