The residents loved the cars and told us it is a highlight of the year when we come. They love ❤️ it! Thank you to all that participated and made this another great day for everyone involved! "Taken from Terry's Report to Chapter Members." |
Joel's Thursday Mystery Driving Tour #4 |
Karma Fruit Co. Very interesting stop, they manufactured their own variety of fruit drink products. |
Everything is done in house using an effervescence device along with a canning machine. |
|
They also have an RV park on site, some with a lake view almost to Summerland. |
. . . problem it started to RAIN! |
Though we had some rain, our small group was high on enthusiasm as Joel guided us on amazingly scenic drive around town. |
Eventually dropping in on Peggy for an indoor lunch. |
THANK YOU PEGGY for the use of your home for our picnic lunch! |
THANK YOU JOEL & MARIE for another interesting Thursday Driving Tour! |

A little 'Liquid Sunshine' to start the day. |
At least Ian brought along the proper gear, and . . . |

First stop was Christie Memorial Park in Okanagan Falls. Hmmmmmm, we pretty well had the Park to ourselves.
