Winnipeggers will get a chance to grab the infamous wetsuit once worn by Alliance Leader Stockwell Day.
Day wore the wetsuit as he jetskied to a meeting with reporters in B.C.'s Okanagan Valley. The suit went up for auction online on E-bay, and it was bought by Winnipegger Larry McIntosh.
"There was about 15 to 20 people who were bidding on it," says McIntosh, the president and CEO of Peak of the Market.
McIntosh says he paid just under $800 Cdn for the wetsuit, and says he plans to use it to help raise money for Winnipeg Harvest.
Anyone making a cash donation to the food bank at the Nov. 3 Blue Bomber game will have their name entered in a draw for the wetsuit.
