We’ll go to the Hot July Nights and the Cowboy Concert, and the Lumberjack Show sounds like fun. We also hope to take in the Louisiana Hayride and some of the other shows.
We will try for the Drive-In Movie Night and the Kids Day & Parade, and maybe the Guns & Hoses hockey game. It all sounds great.
We are going, yes. We’ll take in Kids Day, the flea market, and the Party in the Park. We’ll stay for Louisiana Hayride and go to whatever else we can.
Yes, I’ll try. The Beatles revival concert sounds like fun.

Pride flag raised in Abbotsford Abbotsford - A group of about 40 people waited outside Abbotsford city hall, with many clapping as the rainbow pride flag was raised on Monday. The flag-raising came after a request was made to council in June, asking that the city fly the rainbow pride flag from July 13 to 20 to coincide with a pride celebration that will run July 17 to 19 at Trethewey House. The events are organized by Out in the Valley, a society that organizes social events for the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) community, and the Fraser Valley Youth Society (FVYS), a non-profit charitable organization that provides services for LGBTQ+ and allied youth. When council made the decision, Mayor Henry Braun noted that the city had no policy on what flags can fly at city hall. The city will consider a policy on flag raising at today's council meeting.

Shooting outside Naramata Pentiction - A man is being treated for gunshot wounds after a shooting that took place near the border of Naramata and Penticton. One man is in custody after Penticton RCMP responded to reports of shots fired around 10:30 p.m. Monday at a residence on Lindsay Road. Police said both males were known to each other and the shooting was an isolated incident not related to any gang activity. Nearby neighbour Phil Quinn said he hasn’t seen anything like this in his 20 years living in the area. He said that the two men who rented the top floor of the residence police were seen investigating Tuesday seemed to be good friends. “They come by quite often. They were always quite happy. They stick together a lot and they seem to be really good friends,” Quinn said. “It’s quite surprising. They seem really happy all the time so I’m quite shocked actually that something happened.” He saw the two men earlier that night on a beach nearby on the property. The two did not seem to be in a dispute according to Quinn. Quinn said the two have lived at the residence for the past couple years, and he believes they worked in the oilfield in Alberta.
