B2 Celebration of Rural Living Expo & Trade Show Walk On The Rural Side

April 27 & 28, 2013 North Thompson Star/Journal and Clearwater Times

WELCOME TO RURAL LIVING Welcome; The first Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show has been an exciting event to take from an idea, into the planning stages, and finally bring to fruition. You will find something for everyone, with a full weekend of entertainment and interesting things to see and do while you are here. For those of us who are blessed with living in rural British Columbia, or “the country” as some may say, life is truly sweet. We grow our own food, share what we have with those who have less, look out for each other, and our children are more in touch with the natural world. Rural residents are resilient, innovative and show lower stress levels. We live where you can walk waist deep in a field of wild flowers, see deer playing outside your kitchen window, pick wild berries on a mountain hillside, or catch trout for breakfast within walking distance of home. The sunsets are remembered forever, and a cloudless night brings a galaxy of stars to your back porch. You can swim at the lake, hike in the high country, or travel the backroads. We’re part of a community, and we love where we live. Come and take a walk with us on the rural side, we know you’ll like what you see. Jill Hayward Event Manager

Who’s performing at Coffeehouse Storytelling in Trade Hall

A Good Old Way of Life There are the wise and the old, and the young, who want to learn, There’s the hard working not so olds, their fortunes try to earn, Farming’s got a grip on them, they know no other way, Come hail or rain or sunshine, it’s just another day, From early in the morning, till after dark at night, For crops and stock their caring, they are their delight. Working hard day by day, in a green and pleasant land, Don’t have time to stand and stare, have a good look around, Take in the beauty where, they work the fields the trees n lanes All the years of care and sweat, well out weighs the pains. It’s just a good old way of life, their families there to rear, Health and hope and happiness, the harvest brings good cheer. Countryman Owd Fred

throughout the North Thompson Valley. Until this year, the festival has been held outdoors every time, which hasn’t been the perfect situation; unfortunately, the weather hasn’t always cooperated. When in Fadear Park, there were dust storms, when next to the highway, wind and rain squalls, particularly last year, when many of the canopies that had been set up on the Friday were blown down and mangled. This year, we are trying something totally different. In conjunction with the Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show, we have moved the Festival indoors, into the North Thompson Agriplex. There, artisans and the visiting public can enjoy the comfort of being indoors and out of the weather, while enjoying everything else the Festival and the Expo has to offer. For those coming specifically to check out and purchase artwork by local artisans - there will be a wide variety of quality work to peruse, and to purchase. Here is a list of who will be there and some of what they will be offering for sale. There will be paintings by a large number of artists, including (in no particular order): Norma Stewart, Katherine Semrick, Grace Baker, Bob Stirling, Marie Downing, Wayne Broomfield, and Shirley Anderson.

he Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show is pleased to have partnered with the North Thompson Arts Council to showcase the 6th Annual Celebration of Arts Festival in conjunction with our event. In 2008 the first Celebration of the Arts Festival in Barriere was held. Partnering with the Chamber of Commerce and with funding provided by the 2010 Legacies Now through the North Thompson Valley Learning and Literacy Program, the event was organized in the hope that it would become an annual event. The festival showcased the talents of local artisans and was a great opportunity for the community and visitors to see the many talented artists who live in our area.

Obedience demonstration given by Mary MacLennan, on Sunday at 1:30 p.m.. The demonstration will take place outdoors, in the small livestock show ring directly behind the Trade Hall/Curling Rink. Rally Obedience is a wonderful, fun dog obedience sport, open to all dogs, purebred or mixed breeds and their handlers. Rally Obedience goes beyond basic heeling by interspersing over forty obedience movements with the sits turns and paces of traditional heeling along with some agility moves in the more advanced stages. It requires a brisk pace, positive attitude and happy demeanor. Rally was created in 2000 by Charles “Bud” Kramer, the gentleman who pioneered the first American agility program back in l984. He created Rally to be less stiff than formal competition obedience, and was looking for a way to improve the dog-handler bond. The Canadian Association of Rally Obedience (CARO) was established in 2002 so that dogs could earn titles right here in Canada. This new sport is intended to promote positive relationships between dogs and owners based on trust and respect, in fact extra points in Rally trials are often given for “good attitude”. The dog is guided by his handler through a course compiled of up to 22 stations. At each station is a sign with a required exercise on it, a beginners course could include “Sit, Down, Sit, or “halt, turn left, sit and recalls.” It is a timed competition and as the dogs gain skill and confidence more difficult levels are introduced. In CARO Rally, the handler may talk and give hand and body signals to his or her dog

Mary MacLennan takes her poodle ‘Halo’, through some of the stations in a Rally Obedience course. Mary and Halo will be giving a Rally-O demonstration on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. during the Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show.

throughout the performance, luring with food in the novice classes is permitted. Attitude is actually more important in Rally than precision. Rally is for those who desire an enjoyable activity with their dogs that is fun and games. It is not always easy, but chalIMPCW IRST ATION lenges you and your People of the North Thompson River dog in a partnership that improves heeling, teamwork and enhancement of the human-dog bond.
