The Park is absolutely beautiful at night and really stands out when you are driving in to Penticton from the North or flying in.

Our volunteers, Earl & Margaret Mueksch ; Mathew and Marlies Verboeket; Jack Weller; Adolf Steffen from our next-door neighbour LocoLanding plus our stalwart manager, Don Wright did a fantastic job under tough – very COLD – conditions.

The two guys in the bucket truck, from the Penticton Electrical Dept., were Brian Robson and Bill Wilson, whose assistance was very much appreciated!

A much-needed hot lunch was provided for our frozen crew by Barb Schneiderat.
