A “privilege” to serve in Legislature, MLA Clovechok says

With one full session in the Legislature under his belt, Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Doug Clovechok says he has never worked so hard in his life, but the overwhelming take away from his first six months is what a privilege it is to serve there.

Christmas returned to Revelstoke last week for the filming of Marry Me at Christmas, a Hallmark Channel movie. Downtown Revelstoke was covered in Christmas decorations as the town was turned into a stand-in for Fool's Gold, the fictional Californian mountain community at the heart of Susan Mallery's best-selling novel. Local businesses were dressed up and given names from the book, and numerous locals were cast as extras. So far there are more than 20 books in the Fool's Gold series, so it's possible we might see more movies filmed here in the future. ~ by Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Review
