KIMBERLEY CHAMBER
Winter Market is coming
Saturdays and Sundays through the Christmas season at the Mark Creek Mall C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
When Allison Walker purchased the Mark Creek Mall building earlier this year, she said she was open to anything in terms of using the space. After some discussion with the Chamber of Commerce, it has been decided to offer a Winter Market at the mall beginning November 23. The Market will run through the Christmas season, each Saturday and Sunday, until January 5. “We want to try to capture the first influx of tourists and go right through to January,” said Chamber Manager Mike Guarnery. “After that, we’ll see.” The Winter Market is open to artisans, and people who have items they might like to sell for Christmas. The space formerly used by the Field’s Store will be divided to host up to 30 businesses and artisans to sell items each weekend from 10:00am to 5:00 p.m.

This happy group of hockey players are the Kimberley Novice Knights. They pulled off a big victory in Cranbrook last weekend, winning the 11-team tournament. The Knights went undefeated in four games and faced another Kimberley team in the final, the Kimberley Novice Dynamiters. After a tight final, the Knights pulled off the win. Congratulations!

LIGHT THE TREE
Help the Mark Creek Lions help the children Every $100 donated lights up a string of lights C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
For over 35 years the Kimberley Lions Club, now amalgamated with the Marysville Lions to form the Mark Creek Lions, have been stringing lights in the large fir tree near Lions Manor on Church Street. For every $100 raised, the Lions light up one string of lights, the hope being that enough funds will be raised to light the entire tree by Christmas. Every year an intrepid group of Lions string the lights in the tree, with one especially agile member climbing the tree to fix the lights. There are 14 strings of lights, approximately 1,400 bulbs. They’ve done it again this year and the
tree is now ready for lighting. To coincide with Platzl Light Up this Saturday, the Lions will light the entire tree. It will be turned off the next day and individual strings lit up as donations arrive. The Lions are putting out orange and purple cans at local businesses and ask that you donate what you can. All proceeds from the Christmas LIght campaign go to the Lions Sick Children Fund, which assists families with children requiring medical treatment outside the area. If you don’t see a donation can, you can make donations through the Sick Children’s Committee, Rick McKenzie (250-427-3397) or Sandy Sanderson (250-427-4314).The Mark Creek Lions wish a very Merry Christmas to all and hope that Kimberley continues to help them help the children.
