REVED!
Summer Issue FREE!
A Quarterly Publication Promoting Arts and Culture in Revelstoke Welcome to the first issue of R e v ed! , a locally created publication designed to promote Arts and Culture in Revelstoke. My name is Heather Lea and it is with much pleasure that I present to you what I hope will be a source for good entertainment! When I came to Revelstoke five years ago, it was with an admittedly ignorant
sex shop? For me it didn’t get much better than living and working in this little town with it’s boundless playgrounds and definite seasons. Revelstoke has charm and a certain energy that draws people in and makes them stay. When I decided to buy a house and commit once and for all to this town, I started noticing things. One of
to a CD. If you are reading this now, that’s a good sign. Getting Reved! on the streets required a lot of work in a short period of time and I can only attribute its success to the enormous amount of support I received from friends, family and local businesses. Never once did I receive a negative word

I worked for Canadian Mountain Holidays at Galena Lodge, so most of my time was spent up there in the woods. During my weeks off I would drive to Calgary to mooch off my parents, but that felt wrong. Not the mooching part, but the part where I left the mountains to drive to a city. Most people do that the other way around. It wasn’t long, though, before I traded in the folks for some unsuspecting friends who had couches and a like-minded obsession to ski. I soon fell in love with Revelstoke. Sure it may lack a few things, but what could go wrong in a place with four liquor stores, three Chineses restaurants and one tasteful
those things was: there is a lot of talent here! We have painters, woodworkers, potters, actors, photographers, musicians, singers, writers and movie producers… stuff is going on! People are doing things and doing them well! But one thing has always stood out in my mind: we need to brag more. Do you agree? Could we not use more awareness for local talent? More attendance at local events? With Reved! ed!, I’d like to extend what we as a community have to offer. Not only to visitors, but to locals as well, who may not have realized that the guy down the street is actually playing the flute, not listening
(at least not to my face). In more than a few instances, I was impressed and moved with the generosity of our tight-knit town. On that note, thanks for reading, now go find something to do! Hea ther Lea Heather
