Did somebody say, “let’s go bead hunting?”
From everyone at The BeadTrails Experience, we hope you enjoy your May long weekend.
Okanagan in May
Okanagan businesses beads on a bracelet
That’s right. Beads retired from The Trails are here again! These ‘Nostalgia Beads’ have a limited supply. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
Come into our HQ in Summerland and get the beads you missed from past years while you still can!
The Ryga Arts Festival is finding a temporary home at our HQ! From May until the end of August, they will be settled into one of the offices at our HQ in ArtVine Creative Spaces!
In their own words, here is a little about them: "Summerland’s Ryga Arts Festival is a multi-day arts festival featuring live music, play readings and artistic workshops, symposiums, and more – all with a connection to – or that are inspired by – internationally performed Canadian playwright, novelist, poet, and Summerland resident George Ryga."
They will be using the office to sell tickets and perform admin duties. Come check them out if you're interested. We're thrilled to be a part of this!
