The Kootenay Lodge and Farm entry in Kaslo's May-Day Parade was a smashing success. We had a 16 foot long paper mache sea monster on the back of the dump truck, moving up and down like swimming through the lake, with Janet scuba diving on the trailer with the girls as mermaids and an octopus.

Janet went to Penticton and studied with Hank Pelsner for a week to become a Certified Colon Hydrotherapist. Now we just need to purchase some equipment and get set up to start helping people cleanse their colons.



FEBRUARY/MARCH 2007

Janet, Johnny and Dave did a 30 day deep intestinal cleanse. The results were again terrific! It was Dr. Richard Anderson's cleanse, "Arise and Shine". It takes dedication, but is well worth it.

Well, after putting together the business plan for "Nourish Creations" it became clear that it just wasn't going to be worth the time and investment for the amount of expected profit. Unfortunately all of the governement regulations about labelling, etc. really add up. So, the plan is to have some vending booths at summer festivals and sell our fabulous burgers that way. Janet will also be meeting with Aimee of the Kaslo and Area Food Security Taskforce to work further on developing the idea of creating a community commercial kitchen within Kaslo for all interested parties to utilize.

Janet has just finished a three day workshop on writing Business Plans. She is busy preparing a plan for "Nourish Creations" to be run out of a commercial kitchen on the farm. She hopes to submit the plan to Community Futures this month and receive Self-Employment Funding to start-up the business at the end of January.

Halloween was a Spookshow this year with glowing jack-o-lanterns, wonderful costumes, a bonfire and fireworks to light up the sky. The kids put on a little play about Snow White, Winnie the Pooh and the Gypsy Queen, narrated by Ama Teresu, the Japanese Goddess. What a great opportunity to bring four such distinct characters together in a story!



SEPTEMBER 29th, 2006
We held a most successful Harvest Faire today. The kids were playing, local musicians came out to entertain us, we provided a free lunch to about 150 people, The Wassabi Collective graced the stage well into the evening and a great time was had by all. Throughout the day there were probably over 250 people here, and many people have already come forth to volunteer their time to help with next year's faire. Thanks everyone for making it so great.



JUNE 21st, 2006
The Solstice was celebrated with a wonderful turn-out for our production of "The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig". We had a potluck dinner with visitors in attendence all the way from Northern Canada, a bonfire and bluegrass music for everyone to enjoy.
