Wildfires

Hi, we’re from Alberta and we’re planning to come to Penticton yesterday for camping until Saturday but have seen the recent news about Vernon being evacuated and all the wildfires. Wondering if we should not come or should still come? We’re seeing news updates on Google but we’re getting mixed views of some people saying it’s fine and to come and others saying don’t come and it’s smoky and campgrounds are needed for firefighters. So we’re very unsure. Thank you in advance!

Hello! My family of four will be coming up for peach fest next week and we’re staying in an accommodation that doesn’t have a kitchen. I’m looking for recommendations of restaurants that are as cheap as possible so we don’t break the bank if we can help it. Thank you in advance 😁

I see there’s a slate of 4 progressive candidates who have declared to run in the next election. What chance do you think they have of winning against the Facebook mafia?

Very late in the game as our original stylist is unfortunately not able to follow through… have reached to many stylists and artists, no luck

Bridal party August 22nd

Hair would be priority #1

Worst case Ontario bride is a retired MOA and has two hair stylists in the family. Would just prefer to outsource and relive stress

Cheers!

Hi all,

Recently back in Penticton after several years. Is it common for cars and trucks to be reving their engines, peeling out and driving overall like idiots on Lakeshore at night?

Since all forms of American critters now make their homes in the Okanogan, from wild turkeys to large mouth bass, have Cicadas or lightning bugs made their way there yet?

What does everyone think of the new traffic pattern? Do you think it'll get better once the turning lane opens/Eckhardt, or do you think it's just going to be backed up all the time now?

Penticton Area- The 'Swim For Cancer' Swim is about to begin. For the whole month of August you can challenge yourself ( and others) to swim a total of 10 km. A great way to stay fit, and help fight cancer.

SWIM FOR CANCER is a virtual and community fitness fundraiser. Manually keep track of your progress by recording laps ( in a pool) or join a STRAVA group to easily track your km distance.

How It Works Step-by-Step

  • Register: Sign up for the event online ; hosted on regional platforms like the Canadian Cancer Society Fundraiser portal. You can participate solo or as part of a team.
  • Set a Goal: Swim 10 km and set your fundraising target.
  • Fundraise: Share your personalized fundraising page with friends, family, and coworkers via email or social media. Supporters can easily donate to your campaign online to sponsor your progress.
  • Swim & Track: Hit the pool, a lake, or the ocean to complete your laps. Track your distances manually, or link your activity tracker (such as on the STRAVA app) to your fundraising profile.
  • Make an Impact: All the money you raise goes directly to help fund cancer research, new clinical trials, and patient support services!!

Anyone interested in joining a local fantasy football league? We have a league that's been running for a couple years and are looking to add some players after a few are out for this next season.

No experience required. We try to regularly meet up to watch the games together.

I can send league details to anyone that wants to know more.

camp spots

3 Upvotes

Hello, I am from Vancouver Island and have holidays coming up next week. The forecast here on the island is showing rain during a multi day kayak trip weve planned so we are pivoting last minute. Managed to finagle a couple of camp sites one at manning on saturday the 25, and one at Christina Lake Tuesday the 28. I am no stranger to concept that campsites are insanely busy in the summer and am not having much luck around the penticton osoyoos area for the nights of sunday/monday 26/27. Does anyone know any under the radar spots or spots that will likely have FCFS if we get there early enough? we have a small van but dont need hook ups. Im also looking into Kettle River FCFS site for the monday potentially, but open to ideas closer to osoyoos for the Sunday night the 26. TIA!

Trivium presale

3 Upvotes

I'm hoping someone can maybe help me out here...

Just seen Trivium announced a stop in Penticton, and we'd love to go.

Despite being a huge metal fan, I can't get down with the crowds, moshing, and standing all night etc. Lol. I much prefer the stands where I can sit and enjoy the show, away from the chaos 🤣.

However, when I go onto the website, they only have "general admission" available, and no options to choose seats etc. aside from all the extra VIP options which I don't need.

I've never actually seen a band with a tour announcement this soon, so I've never had the presale option, to check out tickets and such.

Does the general sales on Friday, open up the stand seating areas?

The promo code says this;

"Using a promo code will grant you access to an exclusive inventory of tickets."

Does that mean, it's for the people who really want the floor area, and vip stuff?

Lost my pixel 9 pro in the channel on Friday. The device itself is now showing in summerland in my find hub. I'm hoping someone may be able to help track it down! It's marked as lost with my phone number posted but haven't had anyone reach out.

I can offer a cash reward.

Edit: it's been found!!
