I saw that there will be a Céline exposition on August 14th at the Notre-Dame du Foyer church in Montréal. It's from 10 to 8. All the profits made from the sale of the tickets will go to Ste-Justines Childrens' Hospital.

In 1998, Celine Dion highlighted her 30th birthday by inviting 250 of her closest friends to a party-themed disco.  At the end of the evening, the diva delivered to each of them a commemorative plate-like 45 towers.  Carole Bonneville was not at the party, but she still managed to get her hands on one of these precious gifts.  Like hundreds of other objects, this will be featured as part of the event "Celine Through the eyes of collectors", an exhibition to be held on Saturday, August 14th at the Notre-Dame-du-Foyer Montreal.  This is the first edition of this event.  The funds raised through ticket sales will be donated to the Foundation CHU Sainte-Justine Hospital.  "It's also a way to bring many fans of Celine Dion together at the same place," says Carole Bonneville, the initiator of the project, joining us by telephone yesterday.  Kiosks selling items will be erected on site between 10 am and 8 pm

I wish I could go to this.  I live no where close to Montreal.    Just hoping for loads of pictures.

I was there on my trip, its the most beautiful church in all of Canada.     Sounds like fun.  

[Shesings2me]

Carole invited me there to display my collection, but there is no way I can afford to ship all my things from Calgary to Montreal. By some miracle I hope Kimbo and I can get there for it.  

Good luck to Carole for an amazing event!

Cheers for the 1st annual "Celine Through the Eyes of Collectors" exhibit! Let's hope for many more that we can plan to attend in the future!  

[Raevaz]

I wish I could go It would be cool if the exhibit went around the states, lol I would be 1st in line in Houston

Who cares if it's the Houston Museum of Natural Science! Celine is pretty da*n interesting, she can qualify as natural science

[Celine Fan 77]

  Please organize another one in Spain, I'd die to go  

And by the way, PLEEEEASSSEEE take lots of pictures of the collections and all that!!

ok will someone please tell what is going to be in the exhibit. hopefully costumes from the taking chances tour pls take lots of pictures

[ladylindsey]

It will be a big exposition of fans collections through the years- i don't think there will be any costumes But there should be some pretty neat and rare things- wish I could make it!

[celine-rc]

I was just watching E-Talk and they mentioned the Expo. Just to let you guys know that there is some advertisement. It's the first time I hear of it though in the media. I think we'll hear more on Friday since they usually talk about stuff to do on the week-end and hopefully Saturday and Sunday. We'll see.

[Véronyk]

Hi everybody, the exhibition went so well, we don't know yet how much we collect for Ste-Justine but a lot of people came.

Here's a link of an article that talk about the exhibition.
http://7jours.canoe....5025466-7j.html   The  girl who wrote it came today and she asked question to the 4 collectors ! Everybody's talking about one thing they cherish the most in their collection.
Sorry it's in french but like I said they all chose one item to talk about and that what it's written.

Thanks to everybody that came if you were there I'm the girl with short blond hair that was at the table at the door asking where you heard about the exhibition.
