“I’ve always been interested in natural products for the body as well as natural foods, it’s an extension of what I usually do in my life,” she said.

“I had tried making things like my own lotions and I have worked in health

food stores and have a background in marketing.

I wanted to do something I was passionate about.”

Her husband, Deron Adams, is her biggest supporter. They come up with the soap recipes together and he makes the olive-oilbased soap and the other products.

“My daughter and I made the formula for the

Balance and Clarity soap and we are always experimenting. I don’t think I’m ready to come up with a signature scent yet but I can see making my own scents.

I have some ideas for some new lines that include ylangylang and lemon,” said Adams, who also includes bath teas, bath accessories and essential oils and flower petals for people who want to

Christmas Comes To Armstrong

Holiday Tradition Lights Up The Season ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

T

he theme may be small but the event itself is big.

The annual Armstrong Spallumcheen Downtown Light Up helps kick off Christmas in the region on Thursday, Nov. 29.

“Our theme this year is It’s a Small World,” said Patti Noonan, executive director of the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a multicultural theme so we’re encouraging all businesses to have multicultural decorations or things that are global.”

Events for the big light up actually commence that morning.

Kids from Armstrong’s schools will decorate the big Christmas tree at the corner of Okanagan Street and Pleasant Valley Road beside Margarieta’s Place.

The decorating runs throughout the day and when the kids are fin-

ished, they receive a treat bag courtesy of downtown merchants which will be delivered by a “special guest.”

As the decorating goes on, some of the downtown stores will be having light up day specials. The Brown Derby will play host to the Mostly Minis’ mini goats from its petting zoo.

At 4 p.m., activities will begin in the area of Spirit Square, including cookie decorating. B.C. Hydro will be on-hand to discuss its LightSmart program, and the Royal Canadian Legion will be cooking up hot dogs and hamburgers.

The light-up’s main event - the annual parade, featuring Santa Claus, will start with marshalling at 5:15 p.m.

The nighttime parade, the only one of its kind in the region, starts promptly at 6 p.m.

“The parade route starts at the back of the Village Cheese Company,” said

Noonan. It goes down Pleasant Valley to Shepherd’s (Home Hardware), down to Margarieta’s, makes the loop and goes down the other side of the one-way to the police station.

“Santa Claus, who will be riding on a fire truck, will make another half-loop back to Spirit Square.”

Santa will hop off the fire truck and throw the switch to officially light up the downtown and announce Christmas has come to Armstrong and Spallumcheen.

“It’s getting bigger every year,” said Noonan of the light up festival and parade. “We figure most of the people in Armstrong come out for it.”

The 2011 crowd for the parade was estimated at between 1,000 and 1,500 people.

After Santa Claus lights up the town, there will be a chance for kids to visit with him at Spirit Square.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate, however, Santa will move to one of the downtown restaurants in order to visit with the children.

Those planning on attending light up are asked to dress for the weather.

“It (weather) is unpredictable at that time of year,” said Noonan. “We could have clear skies, we could have rain or we could have a snow storm.

So come prepared.”

There are several new entries in this year’s parade, and the chamber has donated several new strings of lights for the light up.

Santa Claus will stick around for part of the weekend to kick off Christmas celebrations.

He’ll be at the Leaf and Bean from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Dec. 1.

Many of the downtown merchants will also have specials and sales throughout the kickoff weekend.

Food Bank Getting In The Spirit CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

Early on a rainy Monday morning people are coming into the Armstrong Food Bank to fill out applications for Christmas hampers.

“I’ve only been taking applications for two days and I’m already at number 32, which is unusual. There are usually not that many in November and there are some new people. I’m thinking we will be up this year,” said Christine Fedick, Armstrong Food Bank coordinator. The Armstrong Food Bank, which has been in the community for 30 years, is now administered through the Armstrong Boys & Girls Club. Last year the food bank distributed 173 Christmas hampers which helped 375 people, including 168 children. The food bank provides 80-125 regular hampers per month for a total of 1,404 last year.

The food bank is a community project year-round, relying on donations of food and money, and the spirit is never more evident than at Christmas. When the hamper applications are taken, the age and sex

of children are noted and parents can add some suggestions from the child’s wish list. This information is sent to the Armstrong Legion where it is put on the Angel Tree. Members of the public can come and take a child’s wish, buy the gift and bring it back to the Legion by Dec. 17. The gift will be put in the appropriate hamper for pick up Dec. 21.

There will be a table of things like hygiene items, pet food and laundry soap, along with gifts like toques, scarves and mitts from the Knitting Club, for people to choose from when they get the Christmas hampers Dec. 21. There is also always a basket of donated hygiene items in the office which people can pick up.

People can also support the Armstrong Food Bank through Kraft Food for Families. Each email address can can go online to www.kraftfoodforfamilies. ca and click once a day.

For each click Kraft Food for Families will donate 50 cents to the chosen food bank. The food bank that raises the most signatures

We are very grateful & Girls Club are there for with a laptop to get people for the help we get from the community all year. started supporting the food everyone, the people who “The community knows bank through the Kraft contribute and all our won- the need is there and they

support us with donations of all kinds,” said Kirsty Hopkins, centre director, Armstrong Boys & Girls Club, which is part of Okanagan Boys & Girls Clubs.

“There are definite needs here. With the economy now, people find it hard to get jobs or they are laid off. With some families, the dad goes away to find work and mom and the kids stay here and that puts stress on the families. I think people are surprised at the extent of our services, not just for youth but for families and in different areas like parenting and counseling for everyone in the community.”

The Family Development Program has two family and one youth counsellors available at no charge to anyone in the community.

The After School Program, Early Years Program, including Mother Goose for ages birth to five, and the Recreational Program Saturdays for ages seven to 12 are all open. Parenting programs include Recharge and Reconnect for Parents and Nobody’s Perfect.
