The Douglas Trail was constructed in the fall of 1858. This was the first public works project on the mainland. It was initiated by Governor Douglas to ensure food and freight could be transported to the goldfields inland.
The first Tea & Tales in 2010 was a great
success. We hosted more than 80 people and made
close to $150 in admissions.
Karen Love and Meg Gallup spoke
about their art and life in Pemberton as artist's to a group of
tea-goers in the Soo Building. Meg and Karen did a
great job of describing their journey as artists and how their art
has evolved through the years. Both Meg & Karen credit
the rural life of Pemberton as part of how they were able to
explore their own styles.
Video clips of the talk will be made available soon via the Events page on the website.
Shaw TV and the Whistler Question were also roaming around
gathering some footage and stories. All in all it was a busy day
and full of great people and great treats.
Isabelle Peters and Judy Mc Nolty volunteered for the tea service -
thank goodness - as Margaret tried to hold back the tide of tea
goers.
Thanks to all of our helpers for a great start to Tea season!
Next Week - Cathy Konkle from Growing Great Children - a grass roots organization dedicated to building resources and services for young parents and children - will talk about her organization and the strengths and weaknesses of raising kids in Pemberton.
