Having relocated to the area a short year ago, we had the pleasure of taking in the second annual Taste of Art in Armstrong event June 6.
The event was well-staged, and a very enjoyable way of getting to better know the merchants, artists, musicians and businesses of the region.
We had fun strolling down Pleasant Valley Boulevard and Okanagan Street, sampling the various offerings while checking out the wonderful artwork and merchandise, all accompanied by the tunes and songs of local musicians.
This was also a wonderful opportunity to test and purchase a variety of items, which we did.
Congratulations to the Armstrong Food Initiative Society, the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Arts Council, and the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce for collaborating and having the vision to bring such a unique experience to the community.
To the organizers, sponsors, merchants, artisans and volunteers, we say a heartfelt thank you for hosting this event.
We hope it continues to grow in size and popularity, as more businesses take advantage of this unique event. The extra effort involved is sure to be rewarded by cementing new customer relationships that will last for years to come.
Well done. We raise our glasses to all of you.
