Above are a number of the Kimberley Klassics, Red Hatters. Queen Mother, Annie Johnston, is presenting Carol Fergus of the Building Committee for Centre 64 and an envelop with $400 in it from our group. The Chapter has been in Kimberley since May 2005. The ladies meet the second Tuesday of the month either for lunch or dinner. Dues are collected for the Chapter and this time the ladies decided that rather than have the money sit doing nothing, they would donate $400 to the Building Fund for Centre 64. The money will go to the new elevator, and all who know Annie know she is a champion of accessibility in Kimberley. The Kimberley Klassics also collect money each gathering for the Food Bank and give approximately $300 to $400 at Christmas time for gifts for their clients. They are strictly a social group of women who enjoy eating out and talking with friends and supporting our Community in any way they can. For more information about the group, contact Annie Johnston at 250-427-4418.
Marysville Daze this weekend CAROLYN GRANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
The Marysville Lions may no longer exist as a separate club, having amalgamated with the Kimberley Lions Club to form the Mark Creek Lions, but that doesn’t mean the big event, Marysville Daze, has ended. Marysville Daze is a tradition in Kimberley
and the Mark Creek Lions are ready to present its 53rd rendition this weekend, Saturday, June 1. It all kicks off with a pancake breakfast beginning at 8 a.m. at the Marysville Arena. Pancakes, sausages, hash browns, strawberries and cream are on the menu. Entertainment starts at noon and features the Kimberley Pipe Band, Cranbrook All Girls
Drum and Bugle Band and the Bunkhouse Boys with displays by the Dragon Forge, the Kimberley Dance Academy, Gymnastics Club and Highland Dancers. There is an all new Kids Korner with lots of activities to keep the kids amused while parents explore the Flea Market and Craft Show or enjoy the entertainment.

After a great start in May, the First Saturday in June is almost upon us. First Saturdays are all about celebrating arts and culture in Kimberley, and the June 1 celebration will be no exception. The anchor event for this First Saturday is Marysville Daze (see related story this page) but a number of events have also been planned for Kimberley’s Platzl. The First Saturday concept is to have one anchor event that will get people out and about, and then to try to capture that crowd and get them moving to other events as well. This was accomplished in May with the Dynamiter’s Bull-A-Rama as anchor. That First Saturday took on a Western theme and there was plenty of free, family friendly entertainment provided. This Saturday, June 1, Kimberley will celebrate Heritage. In addition to all the activities around Marysville Daze, there will be entertainment in the Platzl from noon to 4 p.m. The committee running First Saturdays, which includes Kimberley Arts Council in partnership with the City of Kimberley, Tourism Kimberley and the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce, will be providing busking opportunities in the Platzl on every First Saturday between 1 and 4 p.m. This is an opportunity for musicians and other acts to showcase their talent and get some exposure. If you want to perform in the Platzl you must register for each First Saturday event ahead of time through the Kimberley Arts Council. All performances will be limited to 30 minutes in one location and will be unplugged. Buskers must also keep in mind that they are performing for a family audience. See FIRST SATURDAY, page 5
