“It’s a beautiful afternoon,” says Mackie. “He’s a great friend of the village and he supports us at many events, he’s just wonderful.”

Taste of the Shuswap guests will savour samples of delicious food and drink from local restaurants, businesses, wineries and breweries – set in the beautiful surroundings of the village.

Participants include Shuswap Chefs, Shuswap Coffee Co., Shuswap Pie Company, Blue Canoe, Table 24, Sunnybrae Winery, Ovino Winery, Recline Ridge and Larch Hills Winery, Mt. Begbie Brewing Company, Crannog Ales, Hedi’s Bistro and Wine, Sedo Deli, Askew’s and Save-On Foods, Hideaway Pub and the village’s very own Marjorie’s Tea Room.

The last of this year’s raffle tickets will be sold and prizewinners announced, with the top prize being a four-day Waterway Houseboats vacation.

Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by calling 250-832-5243, or by visiting R.J. Haney Heritage Village at 751 Hwy. 97B.

“It’s just fun,” says Mackie. “It’s one of my favourite events – just a social afternoon of great food, great friends, great drink and a great way to end the season.”
