December 20, 2018-January 9, 2019 Last Issue of the Year This is the final issue of The Valley Pea for 2018. It has been quite the year for me. A huge thanks to all my delivery folks, my printers, proofreaders, advertisers and you, the reader. A huge thanks to Heather McLeod for all of her work. She came forward when I was really sick and offered to help with the writing and has stuck with it throughout the last year. She continues to write a good portion of each issue. Have a great holiday season and I look forward to peeking at the valley with you in 2019.

Karaoke at the Horsethief Creek Pub on New Year’s Eve is becoming a local tradition. The party starts at 9 pm, or come earlier and settle in at your favourite table for dinner and drinks. There’s no cover, and the shuttle will be running to get you home safely in the New Year. Pre-book your shuttle ride home by calling 347-6400. What better way to say goodbye to 2018 and ring in the New Year than a night at the pub with friends?
