Hope is a wonderful place and the Brigade Days weekend was great.
Thanks to all the volunteers and sunshine.
• Ball was reinstated in Hope thanks to Jeff Smith and Tammy Shields
• The Musical Ride took place thanks to Staff Sgt. Suki Manj (not many towns get this honour)
• Had the salmon barbecue three times – thanks Rod for cooking it over maple, a healthy food
• Ken James Saloon was in a great location, you were able to see many of the events from there
• 300+ people showed up to the Briggie Ball until 2 a.m.
• 25 cars entered the demo derby, which was a great show
• The 4x4 races got lots of cheers.
Thanks to president Michael Kropp. We can all find fault, but let’s look for the good – there was lots.
On a side note, regarding the 7th Avenue/Kawkawa Lake Road four-way stop, remember Tillicum Centre is there.
While driving along Kawkawa Lake Road, make sure to stop by Sucker’s Creek as the salmon have arrived.
Dick Gardner,
Hope
