Orchard Gardens was an ideal setting for our car show. 

There was lots of room to park our 18 cars and there was a nice shaded area for us to sit.

Coffee and donuts were available from the start and lunch was BBQ hamburgers and salads. Very tasty!

Good music played all day and it was a very fun atmosphere from start to finish!

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!

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!

ICE CREAM RUN.

A little 'Liquid Sunshine' to start the day.

At least Ian brought along the proper gear, and . . . 

. . .  the top came up on the Buick to keep Duncan & Bobbie dry!

First stop was Christie Memorial Park in Okanagan Falls.

Hmmmmmm, we pretty well had the Park to ourselves.

TICKLEBERRY'S in Okanagan Falls.

Hard to believe it is July in . . .

. . . the usually very warm South Okanagan!

Sometimes 'The Plan Has A Wrinkle In It.'

Time to find another place to Dine.

THANKS GLEN & DEBBIE FO ANOTHER FUN DAY!
