Wouldn’t it be nice to get away for a relaxing weekend in Kelowna? With fabulous shopping and dining options, a variety of recreational opportunities, and tons of cultural attractions, a weekend in Kelowna may be in store for you.

Correctly identify all five of the artifacts in the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives “What Is It?” Contest to win a one-night stay at Kelowna’s Fairfield Inn & Suites, which features a pool, hot tub and four-storey spiral waterslide.  Also included is a complimentary hot buffet breakfast.

“Jean Manifold, gift shop manager and events coordinator for the museum, secured this awesome prize, while registrar June Mitchell selected the five mystery artifacts,” said Denise Marsh, marketing and communications coordinator.

The contest will run at the museum until April 29 at 4 p.m., with the winner being notified by phone and announced on the museum’s Facebook page by 5 p.m.

“In the event that more than one person correctly identifies all five items, we’ll have a draw amongst the successful entrants, to determine a winner,” said Marsh, who encourages everyone to drop by the museum to test their knowledge during regular operating hours of Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“The museum would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Fairfield Inn & Suites Kelowna for graciously donating the prize for our contest.”

The museum is at 3009-32nd Ave. For more information, call 250-542-3142, see  www.vernonmuseum.ca or www.facebook.com/vernonmuseum
