🔥 MEET BACHELOR #5 — MALEEH MONJAZEB!

Okay… Bachelor #5 may be raising the bar a little. 👀

Meet Maleeh — a wildland firefighter, carpenter AND personal trainer who somehow still finds time for weightlifting, rugby, snowboarding, hiking, camping and dancing. 🔥💪🏔️

And underneath all that adventure?

🐾 He's a dog person — as you may have guessed from the photo. ❤️
🌊 He's survived a tsunami. Yes, really.
💃 And one of the things he'd love to learn? Partner dancing.

In fact, when we asked Maleeh what his ideal date might look like, his answers ranged from a beach or river day sharing music, to a walk with his dog, gym + food + a movie, or learning to partner dance.

So we're taking some inspiration from that last one...

💃🕺 Maleeh's auction experience is currently in the works — and we're working on making it a DANCE experience!

More details coming soon. 👀

Come meet Maleeh and all of our bachelors while helping us raise funds for the Nanaimo Fringe Festival! ❤️

🎟️ Event details: https://bachelorauctionnanaimo.eventbrite.ca

👇 But first, we need to know...

If you were taking a partner dance lesson, what would you choose?

💃 Salsa
🤠 Two-step
🔥 Bachata
🕺 Something else?

Tell us in the comments — you might just help us choose Maleeh's experience! 😉

🔥 MEET BACHELOR #4 — “CAPTAIN” KIRK!

This is a man who knows how to plan an adventure. 👀

By day, this bachelor is an Occupational Safety Officer. Off the clock, you’ll find him fishing, boating, cooking, tackling home-improvement projects or enjoying live theatre and comedy.

But there are a few things you should probably know before bidding...

🎶 He knows the complete score to The Sound of Music.
🍖 If he won the lottery, he’d open a BBQ restaurant.
👣 And apparently... he’s had an encounter with a SASQUATCH.

Yes. We have questions too. 😂

But wait until you hear what Adam Kirk is bringing to the auction...

🛥️ A DAY OF BOATING & ADVENTURE!

🏝️ Boat trip to Wallace Island Provincial Park
🧺 Picnic along the way
🦀 Crab & prawn fishing
🍹 Finish with oceanside drinks & appies on a marina patio

The boat, eats, beverages AND bait are all included.

Adam says his ideal experience is all about fun, laughs and making a memorable experience together — and we think he understood the assignment. ❤️

🎟️ Event details: https://bachelorauctionnanaimo.eventbrite.ca

Now we need to know...

👇 What has you more curious — the boating adventure or the Sasquatch story? 👣🛥️

Adventure, skills AND a big heart — Bachelor #3 brings a little bit of everything. ❤️

Meet Ian Jivraj, local Realtor with Stonehaus Realty, surfer, DIY guy and someone who clearly doesn't like sitting still!

Ian has spent a summer bartending in the South of France, teaches first aid, trains lifeguards and promotes water safety. And one of our favorite things about him? He volunteers alongside his dog Lucy with the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program. 🐾❤️

But here's where things get really interesting...

🔥 THE WINNING BIDDER GETS TO CHOOSE THEIR EXPERIENCE!

🥾 Mt. Benson Adventure
A guided trek up Mt. Benson complete with a picnic, snacks and hydration.

🔥 MEET BACHELOR #2 — SPENCER MENGUAL!

Say hello to Spencer — Realtor, fitness fanatic, outdoor enthusiast and self-proclaimed foodie on a mission. 🌮

Spencer is the kind of guy who works out 6 days a week… but admits he'll never say no to dessert. He's also been searching for Vancouver Island's best taco and burrito for 11 years — so if you have a recommendation, drop it in the comments! 👇

When he's not helping clients or chasing the perfect taco, you'll likely find him golfing, hiking, paddleboarding, running, camping, fishing, or sitting around a good campfire.

A couple of fun facts about Spencer:
✨ He's a fraternal twin.
🔥 He says he's a bit of a walking contradiction — polished professional by day and country boy at heart.

For the Bachelor Auction, Spencer is offering a Dinner for Two courtesy of M&M Food Market, complete with an appetizer, bistro steaks, stuffed potatoes, vegetables, and dessert. 🍽️

Come support Spencer and all of our amazing bachelors as we raise funds for the Nanaimo Fringe Festival!

📍 Old City Station Pub
📅 September 11 at 6:00 PM

💬 Let's settle the important debate... Where is the BEST taco on Vancouver Island? Tag your favorite spot! 🌮

🪄 MEET BACHELOR #8 — CRAIG MCKEE!

We promised you an interesting lineup of bachelors... but we may have forgotten to mention that one of them can actually perform magic. 🎩✨

Meet Craig McKee — professional magician, third-generation woodworker, skydiver, dog guy and someone whose interests range from classical music to particle physics.

And apparently performing magic on solid ground just wasn't exciting enough...

🪂 Craig has completed more than 30 solo skydives.

😳 And he performs North America's highest regularly performed inverted straitjacket escape — upside down, 80 FEET in the air.

Yes. EIGHTY FEET. UPSIDE DOWN. IN A STRAITJACKET. 😳

We think it's safe to say Bachelor #8 knows a thing or two about creating a memorable experience!

❤️ SO... WHAT ARE YOU BIDDING ON?

Craig is keeping the adrenaline going with:

🪓 An hour of axe throwing

followed by...

🍷 Dinner, wine & charcuterie at a locally owned downtown restaurant.

A little competition, great food, a glass of wine and — considering who you'll be with — we're guessing there may be a trick or two along the way. 😉

🎟️ Event details: https://bachelorauctionnanaimo.eventbrite.ca

👇 We have to ask...

Would YOU rather try axe throwing 🪓, skydiving 🪂, or an 80-foot straitjacket escape? 😳

Choose wisely. 😂
