Fall Fair Windemere, BC

Invermere, BC

What a fun day we had today... we heard from the visitor's centre yesterday that Windemere was having its annual Fall Fair today, so we set of after a lazy breakfast and drove down to Windemere (about 20 minute drive). After some trouble we finally found the fair and we had a great time. Watched a guy take a piece of a tree trunk and, using only a chain saw, he sculptured it into quite an interesting piece of artwork ( see picture ). It was auctioned of for over $200. We got sucked in to buying some healthy sounding bee pollen (only to discover later that the reason they didn't give samples out was because it tastes like cr---p. But may be it is an acquired taste. Will get our friend Hillary to taste it... she might like it!!!  If she doesn't... well there is no hope!!! Derek bought Janice a lovely necklace and he got a huge tub of whipped honey for his morning toast! After skipping the 'wife-tossing' contest (no comments please.. LOL)... we headed on our way, stopping at Invermere for a walk round the town (where else can you find a dollar store with 50% off everything in the store)!!! We also found and ice cream parlour and sat outside enjoying homemade ice-cream.
We stopped at the store and picked up some groceries and wine and beer before heading back to camp
. We all went for a swim and hot tub before dinner. We then relaxed outside and marveled at the clear skies and the stars.
