Voyageur Lions Club's first ever Jail or Bail is being called a huge success.
Twenty-one celebrity criminals help raised nearly $8,500 with more pledges yet to come in.
President Bill Michl says few came in with the minimum and those that did were happy to sit in jail and raise the bail they needed to get out of jail.
The club also attracted four new members as a result of the event.
It's now planning to make it an annual one.
