The children participating in the Raising Stars Preschool Adventure program visited Vernons Girouard Park on Friday, July 5th. These children tested out the playground, giving it 5 stars all around, with the most favorite items being the dinosaur slide and climber, and no one favoured the climbing wall!Show less

Friday, September 13th, marked the final night of the Vernon Artisan market! My 2 mini cohosts join me in reviewing and looking around the artisan market filled with toys, cookies, and delicious street food, all while enjoying live music!

The 64th Vernon Winter Carnival parade took place on February 3rd, 2024! We were thrilled to see Shaw once again film the parade live with commentary by local dignitaries. This was the longest parade in Vernon I have ever participated in, the parade itself took about an hour to get through all entries, and to be honest it took all of that to be in the parade as well! 
The streets were lined with people, in some places about 20 people thick!
It was great to see all entries featured in the video this year as well!

The town of Enderby recently was a finalist in the annual Kraft Hockeyville competition, and while they did not come out on top, they certainly made a big impact. On March 30th they found out the result via a life broadcast to the Area. Kraft Hockeyville is a nationwide competition that celebrates the spirit of community and the love for hockey.Enderby was a finalist in the event (top 4) for their love of hockey and for needing a new arena, as the arena has been closed since September. The town came together to support their top four plcement, demonstrating the strong community spirit that Enderby is known for. Despite not winning the top prize, the participation in Kraft Hockeyville brought the community closer together and fostered a sense of pride and togetherness!
