Brent's Bunch is DARK this week and we are visiting Oktoberfest and other news

Hi - A reminder that we are visiting Stardowners Oktoberfest this Thursday and Brent's Bunch will be dark.  I encourage you to join us there even if you didn't sign up ahead.  I attach the flyer as well as a map of Queen's Park showing the location of Centennial Lodge and nearest parking.  There is a silent auction, so head to the ATM first!

Chuck Jordan turns 90 on Saturday.  Happy Birthday, Chuck!

I am passing along news of a job opportunity at The Valley Circle.  Anni Christensen wishes to step down as Flashback Editor.  The job involves selecting an article from the Valley Circle archives that may be of interest to see again.  Contact Blair Wallace if you are interested - valleycircle@shaw.ca

Lots of Penticton Festival 2026 news:  

1.  If you plan to go, register!  The early bird price expires December 31.  We are now accepting credit card payments; the $5 surcharge for these starts January 1.  

2.  Hotel block bookings all have expiry dates, the earliest being January 15. So if you don't want to sleep on the beach, please check the Hotels link on the website.

3.  There is a caller school planned for the days leading up to the Festival.  Barry Clasper and Dottie Welch are the headliner instructors and 12 people have already expressed interest in attending.  See the website for the  Expression of Interest letter.

I hope to see you Thursday at Stardowners and Saturday at the Gala!
