Welcome to Colleen’s Corner. This is a column meant for fun and some information About myself: I am a Freelance Photographer you often see me on the side of the road or in various places taking photos of different things animals, birds, places, people etc. l have lived in Lumby just over 8 years you have seen my photos in the newspaper (Lumby Valley Times) and once in awhile in the Vernon Morning Star, and the Lumby Art Gallery. Photography is my passion. Disclaimer: The information on some of my photos that I write about a lot of times come from the Internet or books I research them, hopefully the facts are as close to the truth as I can come.
What a great crowd there was even though it rained on and off for the weekend, everyone had a smiling face, and looked like they were having a good time. Did you get a chance to shake hands and congratulate the new “Citizen of the Year” Murray Freeman. It went to a well deserved person I must say. He is a wonderful person, always willing to help anyone he can, he is so cheerful you can’t help but smile at him. I am so proud of him for getting an award he really deserves.
Lumby Days are now over until next year, our quiet little village will go back to normal without the hustle and bustle of a larger town, it won’t seem so busy now it won’t take as long to get food and drinks at our restaurants and bars, or have longer waits at checkouts, but remember that although the crowds have left; our local businesses still need your support.
I would like to say a big thank you to all of our local businesses being run off their feet during Lumby Days. Also to all the volunteers, and staff members that worked during Lumby Days and to the Lumby Days Board of Directors for once again putting on an awesome weekend. I can’t wait to see what they do for next year.
