Invermere Music Festival
Live Comedy
This weekend, Friday, August 18 and Saturday, August 19 brings the Invermere Music Festival to town. It is a fantastic event with a beautiful waterfront venue (green space at Pynelogs near Kinsmen Beach). Friday night is a high-energy dance party with the gates opening at 5 pm. There will be a great mix of music to get down to with Chipko Jones, The Boom Booms and The Wet Secrets. Saturday, the gates open at 4 pm and the show begins at 4:30 pm with local talent, the Dandelions (they are incredible). They will be followed by Dawn Pemberton, Sarah Hawkyard, Ridley Bent and finally Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. It will be an incredible weekend of music and fun.
As I have said many, many times, laughter is a good thing. It releases endorphins and makes the whole body feel great. That is one of the reasons that the Horsethief Creek Pub brings in ‘Yukyuks on Tour’ every month. They are concerned about our well-being. This Sunday, August 20 brings live comedy to the pub at 9 pm. It is an incredible chance for everyone to get out and have a great evening with good laughs, great food and outstanding staff. A shuttle to the event is available by contacting the pub.
Harsh Words “Why aren’t you at work?” I asked my buddy. “Because of what the boss said.” “What did he say?” “You’re fired!”

Under Control The ‘Island Pond Fire’ that began near the highway between Canal Flats and Skookumchuk is now ‘under control’. It has been a tough couple of weeks for residents in the Premier Lake area as they have been under alert. The alert has now been lifted. A great job by the B.C. Wildfire Services as they kept that fire away from communities and eventually knocked it down. We will still have lots of smoke in the area but residents of the area can relax a bit.
