The Autism Support Network will be hosting a Blues and Bites Gala Fundraiser next month to support B.C. families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Emceed by Global BC reporter Catherine Urquhart, the event – set for April 8 – will treat guests to tasting stations by chef Peter Bucher, B.C. wine pairings and entertainment by award-winning Canadian blues musician, Harpdog Brown and his Travelin’ Blues Show.
