The Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank’s gigantic summer garage sale is not until Saturday, August 23, but Food Bank directors are hoping you will save any household goods you may want to donate starting now. The one day sale will be held at the Kimberley Curling Club from 9 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. August 23. The sale is always a really big fundraiser, says Food Bank director Stan Salikin and any donations for sale are greatly appreciated. “We really appreciate people saving any of their items for us,” he said. As always, Food Bank volunteers will be available at the Kimberley Curling Rink every day from 4 to 6 p.m. beginning August 1 to receive donations. Drop offs are greatly appreciated but if you simply can’t get your donations down to the curling rink, call Salikin at 250-427-7258 or the Food Bank at 250-427-5522 and a pick up will be arranged.
Sign up for JulyFest five and ten K races A little exercise with your Fest C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
JulyFest is more than bocce, soccer, parades, concerts and class reunions — although those events make up a lot of the weekend’s fun. But if you’re of a mind to get a little exercise as well as partying, you might want
to sign up for the annual JulyFest run. Sponsored by the Kootenay Orienteering Club, the five and ten K races will get off to an early 8 a.m. start to beat the heat. A special kids race starts at 8:10 a.m. leaving plenty of time to catch the parade at 10:30 a.m. Check in and registration begin at 7:15 a.m. at the Nature Park’s Swan Avenue entrance. Pre-register on-line (preferred), at the
Kimberley Chamber of Commerce office. or on the morning of the 20th at Swan Ave. All proceeds will be donated to the Kimberley Trails Society for chainsaw training. KNPS memberships will be available for purchase on the day. Only $5. Register now, pay on the day. JIM WEBSTER PHOTO
Right, the races are run early enough in the day to beat the heat.
