Watch the Cobourg Police take on the Cobourg Firefighters at the Cobourg Community Centre Saturday, March 1, in a hockey game that will be a lot of fun for all ages.

It's a face-off pitting the Cobourg Fire Department against the Cobourg Police Service for a fun evening in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-West Durham and Northumberland – which is celebrating 50 years of changing lives through the power of mentorship this year.

The fun actually begins before puck drop, with a 5:30 p.m. opening of the Interactive Fun Zone and tunes by DJ Joel Wesley. Participation requires a minimum $2 donation.

The game is free, with donations encouraged at the door, for the 7 p.m. face-off. Attendees can also enjoy a 50-50 draw, entertainment by Just Dance Northumberland, face painting and photo-ops with three beloved mascots – Chippy the Squirrel, Chase the Police Dog and Sparky the Fire Dog.

A wide variety of food and beverages will be for sale, and Prep Food Co. Is offering cookies for a $2 donation.

Event supporters include Brock Street Brewery, Puck It, Canadian Tire and New Amherst Homes. And Cobourg Cougars will be donating the proceeds from their 3 p.m. game's 50-50 draw and chuck-a-puck.
