Final Music in the Park Performance

On August 8th I went to my final Music in the Park Performance as a BC Ambassador Candidate. This was the most well attended event yet and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Esquimalt Navy Band. I want to commend the Osoyoos Music in the Park Society for putting on so many fabulous and free musical performances this summer!

Through out the Summer I have been attending the newly formed Osoyoos Music in the Park attending 6 of the several performances during the Inaugural Summer 2015 season.  I was able to witness the growing popularity of the event through out the years, observing the crowds get larger as each week passed.




During the first year I got to listen to a variety of Musicians & musical performances ranging from solo artists, choirs, bands,  to full orchestra's. I was also able to support a few local performers and bands as well.


I was thoroughly impressed with how well received this inaugural event was and have great respect for the trio that makes up the dedicated Osoyoos Music in the Park board. The amount of effort they put into the Summer shone through and I wish them the best success next year. Thank you for bringing something new for people to do during Summers here in Osoyoos.

Watermark Movie Nights

On August 4th I went to the weekly movie night at Watermark Beach Resort which was the movie home.
I had a lot of fun & really enjoyed the movie and in particular enjoyed watching the children having a good time!
For $5.00 I was able to enjoy the movie with some popcorn and a pop!

Radio Interview at EzRock

  

On August the 4th I went to Ez Rock Osoyoos 1240 F.M  for my final Media Interview. It was a lot of fun and this time around I wore Headphones so that I had to hear myself speak. Which was different. My interview with Ez Rock Osoyoos went up on the 10th of August, with my previous interview with the Osoyoos times being published on the 5th and my interview with Community Infromation Radio Osoyoos having went up practically as soon as we finished the interview. I will most likely have more media interviews in Merritt and feel well prepared for them now! 

Helicopter Tour of Osoyoos & Spotted Lake

On Sunday August 7th I went on my first Helicopter Tour

I went with Okanagan Valley Helicopter tours & it was worth every penny! I went on an extended tour package, one that included a ride over Spotted Lake which is one of my favorite places in Osoyoos. 

My Helicopter ride was SO exciting as the Pilot took off my door during our ride. 

I had such a great time I am planning to go again for my Dad's Birthday. It was such a thrill that I don't remember every detail as the tour felt like it was merely minutes instead of 20 minutes.  For more photos look at my Facebook Album here Osoyoos Helicopter Tour

Artisan Market at Osoyoos Art Gallery

On Saturday August 1st I stopped by the Artisan Market 

Through out May & August the current Show at the Osoyoos Art Gallery is called Artisan Market and features an eclectic mix of Art from local artists. This is a first time Art Display for the Osoyoos Art Gallery and the collection includes Pottery, paintings, photographs, glass, jewelry, and fabric art all created by talented local artists. Please go and check out this fabulous display of talent within the community of Osoyoos and support this show. I hope that this is the first of many successful summer seasons for the Artisan Market. I thoroughly enjoyed my brief tour of the collection and intend to return to the Art Gallery once more before my candidacy ends to enjoy the art! 

Media Week

The "press week" started On July 29th 

On Wednesday July 29th Viveka Jensen and I headed off to our first "media" interview, of which we will be attending through out the 29th until August 4th. 

This is in an effort to promote the British Columbia Ambassador Program as well as talk about our time spent and our experiences as BC Ambassador candidates. It was also a time to discuss what it was like representing Osoyoos for a second time as we had both reigned as Princesses of Osoyoos, with my own reign lasting from 2008 until 2010 and Viveka's reign taking place from 2013-2014. 

Our first interview on July 29th was with Community Information Radio Osoyoos on 106.5 FM  with Randy Bedard at the radio station located within Destination Osoyoos. Unfortunately due to technical difficulties the interviews had to be postponed and completed separately versus together. 

The Following Day on  July 30th we visited the Osoyoos Times for an interview and a photo op. Just before we leave for Merritt we will be talking to Randy Farmer with EZ Rock Osoyoos on August 4th. 

Previously we completed an interview with Osoyoos Daily News and Ripples Publishing online magazine. 

Watermark Presents Summer Movies

 During Every Tuesday in July Watermark Beach Resort played different films on a big screen 

On Tuesday July 28th, I went over to Watermark Beach Resort for the evening showing of Jurassic Park. Where $5.00 paid my entrance into the movie and bought a popcorn and a drink.

The theatre was located in the conference room where they had chairs set up as well as pillows & fluffy beach towels.

Sadly the movie was canceled due to a lack of people, as there was only myself and one other young man. I did get to chat with the hotel worker who was running the event and she told me that they have had a good turn out for movies aimed towards younger audiences.
