The Fernie Writers Conference wrapped up last Sunday after the 14 day gathering of award winning writers from around the Pacific Northwest and their students. As mentioned in an earlier blog, I attended the poetry round table at the Brick House last Wednesday night. Included is a photo of Albertan author, cowboy poet & musician Sid Marty gracing us with some of his fine lyrics and musical abilities. The evening was a huge success with over 40 people attending the reading.
We have had some wild storms in Fernie this week. I have still managed to get out for a hike or ride every day between the thunder and lightning storms. Once the storms have passed the sun comes out and it has been very hot and humid. I have been taking the dog to the river everyday for a swim; the river feels so refreshing in the heat of the day! We see loads of fisherman and whole families out enjoying the river in inner tubes every time we go to the river ~ mid day the river is definitely the place to be.
I am off to Slocan Lake this week for a little R&R and some lake time. I will catch up with my blog again the week of Aug 17th.
