A throng of happy people strolled about Notch Hill Community Park during a Routes and Blues outreach event held Saturday, Aug. 3.
Attendees learned or refreshed their memories on the history of the area, visiting Notch Hill School, which was built in 1921, and the white church. Inside the school, a historic train model of Notch Hill during the era of the steam pushers was set up by model railroaders Norm Kinsella and Lee Fraser.
Everyone enjoyed eating a delicious baron-of-beef-on-a-bun meal, and listening and dancing to the musical concert featuring Sherman Doucette.
The Kettle Valley Railway and Revelstoke Railway Museum sponsored a raffle that had five lucky winners, as well as a lucky 50/50 winner.
Organized as part of Routes and Blues, the Notch Hill committee offered thanks to their festival partners, to CPR for their sponsorship, and the volunteers who worked so hard to promote, organize and create a warm, friendly atmosphere for all the community participants and visitors.
