What's Happening? Oct.14-20, 2017
Brrr - do you feel the chill in the air this week? Notice the skiff of snow on the hill tops? Safety first! - Have you got your snow tires on?
This week there is a lot of events featuring my Art teacher and friend Sveva Caetani who left us with a legacy of art, history and mystery... along with the Caetani Cultural Centre on Pleasant Valley Road.
Below is a snapshot of what's happening in the coming week.
October 14, 2017 | ||||||||||
| Lumby Public Market @ Whitevalley Community Park The Lumby Public Market is a seasonal Market that features owner-operated stalls and/or “day tables”. As a Public Market, we provide a showcase for local and area agricultural producers as well as artisans, crafters, musicians, home-based businesses and local entrepreneurs. It celebrates Lumby and area’s unique character and culture while serving its everyday shopping needs. 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM | ||||||||||

| Johnny Popper Farm Tours @ Davison Orchards See for yourself how your food is grown! Taking a ride through the farm on "Johnny Popper Train" is a fun, interactive way for you to experience our working farm. Something new to discover in every season on the farm. The tour takes you by apple trees, plum trees and peach trees as well as tomatoes, peppers, corn, pumpkins and more. A traditional tour involves one stop where one of our farmers will show you the fields and the orchards and you can see, touch, smell (and sometimes even taste!) one of our in-season crops. The focus of the tour changes as the seasons do, but all year long our Farm Tours are a chance to have some fun while you learn the story behind your food. Fun for all ages Our tours have been designed with families in mind. Kids love to ride in the tractor drawn "train" made of apple bins. Parents appreciate the covered, padded seating and the fact that the kids and adults alike learn something new about their food and how it's grown. Ticket Prices are $6 for adults (13 yrs and older), and $4 for children (2-12 yrs) and do not need to be reserved in advance - just come on up, buy a ticket, and enjoy your tour! We do recommend that groups reserve in advance to ensure enough seating is available on the tour. | ||||||||||

| Family Daze in the Corn Maze @ Historic O'Keefe Ranch Bring the whole family for great fall activities at the O’Keefe Ranch. A brand new maze will be open and it's guaranteed to entertain with plenty of twists and turns and spooky scenes around every corner. Some of the historic buildings will be open and decorated and the General Store will be selling good ol’ fashioned Halloween candy. Kids can enjoy a run through the maze, try a pony or tractor ride, take part in an art activity, or a climb in the giant spider web. Grab a snack at one of the food trucks available to keep your energy going all day long! The cost is $10 per person or $30 for a family (up to 5 people). This is a family friendly event – the corn maze is spooky but it does not have live actors, and the seasonal décor in the buildings is suitable for children to explore. | ||||||||||
