- Dick Kostier, who for 5 years has taken care of our live music on the outdoor stage.
- Constable Clayton Gelinas of Cochrane RCMP, who for the second year in a row showed up to help with traffic AND assist in the pie eating contest. He is a credit to the force.
- The incredible crew of volunteers that set up and took down. By 7 pm the day of the event you could not tell anything had happened on the BCCA grounds. Thank you Thank you.
- And to all the local musicians who rocked the day away, good on you! A standing ovation to you; George Fox, Leanne Lightfoot, Farty Marty and the Slackers, The Band Peak, and Rick Godderis & Friends.
In closing, we want to express appreciation to all the staff and volunteers that bring us the Farmers Market and the Summer Camps for Kids. There is a great flow and energy in the Hamlet because of these activities that add to the charm of Bragg Creek.
And now, as we sit back and watch for the turning of colours outside, take good care of yourself, our environment and all those around you.
