Music on the Lake

Artist Profile:

Yale CountY Jug Band

Performance Date: August 15

Band: Yale County Jug Band

Presented by: Interior Savings

Get ready for an evening of music, food, and community spirit as Interior Savings CornStock returns to Chase for its 12th year! This eagerly anticipated annual event promises to be the corniest day of the year. Mark your calendars for August 15th and come join us for an unforgettable experience!

Interior Savings CornStock is a family-friendly affair, offering a range of activities for everyone. Meet local farmers and check out local goods at the CornField Market, savor a cob of hotbuttered corn, make crafts or play games in the Little Kernels Zone, grab a cold beverage at the Watering Hole, and enjoy the music of the Yale County Jug Band on the CornStar Stage.

One of the highlights of CornStock is the warm and welcoming community atmosphere. This event provides an excellent opportunity to meet and connect with fellow residents and

visitors. As you enjoy the festivities and relax by the lake, you’ll experience the true spirit of Chase, where neighbors become friends and memories are created to last a lifetime.

Interior Savings CornStock isn’t just about having a good time; it’s also about giving back to the community. Proceeds from the event go towards supporting local non-profits and initiatives, ensuring that CornStock contributes positively to the well-being and growth of the village and its residents.

As summer’s warmth embraces Chase, there’s no better time to come together and celebrate all that makes this community special. Interior Savings CornStock promises a wonderful experience for everyone. So, gather your loved ones, pack your enthusiasm, and head to Tsqúqw7e (Chase Memorial Park) on August 15th at 6pm to join in the fun.

It was a big surprise when the advertising company went out of business. No one saw the signs.

It appears that our world is trending towards an ever-increasing commercialization of human spirituality. Eventually, it’ll lead to pay per déjà vu.

Tammy & Mona from the Maskwa Den are announcing the bittersweet news of the Maskwa Den closing permanently.

From the starting roots @ Pebbles Place to the beautiful crystal shop with handmade jewellery and Tammy’s Art, I have so say it’s been a fantastic journey.

My spirit is being guided back to my home in Kamloops to continue my energy work with crystals, animals & the youth.

I sincerely thank the amazing community of Chase & the Shuswap for supporting this chapter, of my growth as a business owner & contributing member of this lovely Village.

I will miss the community, the sense of family and warm smiles from all of you.

Take good care, be well & make every day the blessing that it is.

Kukstemc,

Tammy LaFleur Visual artist & light worker

Lower East Adams Lake Wildfire

Post by Shuswap Emergency Program

UPDATE: August 10, 2023 – 12:30 PM – Rain has dampened fire behaviour on the Lower East Adams Lake Wildfire, allowing crews to continue working on building fuel-free fire guard. The area received approximately four-to-six millimetres of rain in the past 24 hours.

• The weather is forecast to move back into a very hot, dry pattern, which may increase fire activity.

• All Evacuation Orders and Alerts remain in place. The status of these Alerts and Orders is being reviewed by BC Wildfire daily. Any changes to the status of Orders and Alerts in the CSRD areas will be communicated through the CSRD and Shuswap Emergency Program (SEP) through their websites, through the Alertable mass notification system and on SEP and CSRD social media platforms.

• Evacuation Alerts and Orders in the Thompson Nicola Regional District (TNRD) and for the Adams Lake Indian Band (ALIB) will be communicated directly from those organizations.

• BC Wildfire continues to prioritize initial

attack on all new fire starts. There were numerous lightning strikes associated with the storm activity.

• A base camp for BC Wildfire

firefighters at the Squilax Airfield will be operational by this evening, providing better access to fire areas for the crews.
