Christmas shopping just for children coming to Barriere

Christmas shopping just for children coming to Barriere

The Christmas season is filled with giving that comes in all shapes and forms. Children most often are given something from a member of the family, whether it is immediate or extended family, as everyone relates the holiday season to children and gifts. However, sometimes we forget that children also like to give, and the anticipation of seeing their parent open something that the child has bought ads to their enjoyment.

Teddy Bear Toss tease — Chyzowski, Blazers’ fans robbed of warm, fuzzy moment after disallowed goal

It was nothing against Minnie Mouse, but Kamloops Blazers’ forward Jermaine Loewen didn’t look thrilled to be in her company. On Teddy Bear Toss Day, fans are encouraged to launch stuffed animals and winter wear onto the ice after the Blazers’ first goal. The haul is donated to local charities, part of the tradition that started in Kamloops in 1993 and is now a fixture in junior hockey cities across North America.
North Thompson Valley Artisans Show and Sale was ‘awesome’

North Thompson Valley Artisans Show and Sale was ‘awesome’

Last weekend the Valley Artisans held an impressive Show and Sale of their home-crafted works of art at the Fall Fair Hall in Barriere. The variety of beautiful items was amazing. There were practical items such as specialty soaps, and interestingly crafted bird houses to beautifully designed jewellery and so much more for visitors to admire. Far too much to all be mentioned here. The hall was not filled with admirers only, as vendors reported that sales had been steady.
