We may be a small community, but we live in a spectacular area  In the early days, the waterfront was the hub of the town.  Paddle wheelers  went up the lake, and barges moved rail cars from one end to the other.  The lower part was called Summerland and the upper part West Summerland, with two different post offices.  Now, the whole town is Summerland.

CHUCK BERRY ( 1926--2017)

Image
Chuck Berry, guitarist, singer singer and songwriter.  He wasn't the greatest singer in the world.  He was a marvelous entertainer! I saw him at the PNE in Vancouver in the Seventies.  He was billed with two other performers, one of which was ill and did not come.  He did all her sets, as well as his own.  Security was a bit bent out of shape, as he had all the young people up on the stage dancing! We will miss him....   This is how, I remember him!

Image
IN CANADIAN FOLKLORE, OGOPOGO OR NAITAKA IS A LAKE MONSTER. (Salish:  n'ha-a-itk  "lake demon") reported to live in Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, Canada.
