BIDS FOR LIGHTFOOT GUITAR TOP $5,000

With time running down, bidding on a guitar autographed by Gordon Lightfoot has reached US$5,300.

"It will be really interesting to see what happens in the last few hours," said Nicole McCahon, executive director of the Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Lightfoot signed the brand new Martin D-18 guitar during his visit to Orillia earlier this month for two sold-out concerts.

It is being sold on eBay, an online auction site with the proceeds going to the hospital foundation.

Bidding closes at 7 p. m. on Nov. 26. Often there is flurry of bids in the last hours of an auction when the serious bidders weigh in, McCahon said.

"I'd like to see it closer to $10,000. That would be great."
