bass Coast
summer festivalBass Coast Project Ltd's founders An-
drea Graham & Liz Thomson presentedtheir company &
summer electronic artsfestival to Merritt City Council this
week.They said their event has outgrown itsprevious private
campground site inSquamish, is moving onto the Mountain-fest site
and will be held Aug 2-5, 2013.
The festival is a 3-day event that fea-tures 3 stages of
groundbreaking elec-tronic and live music, performances,yoga,
workshops, vendors, fashion show,music video contest, theme camps
andart installations throughout the site.
Their vision is to promote, fund and ex-hibit the Arts Culture
in BC, and for thefestival to become the leading boutiquefestival
in North America.
They approached council for theirsupport, although did not ask
for fund-ing as they operate without sponsorship,
but they'll require a special events permitfrom TNRD. Their
policy is to sourcesuppliers, staff & vendors from the
com-munity whenever possible. Last year,their festival contributed
approx.$400,000 to Squamish's economy, andthey're looking for their
event to growhere in the Nicola Valley.
The Bass Coast Summer Festival hasgrown from a small,
carefully-plannedevent 3 years ago with less than 500 peoplein
attendance, and organizers are forecast-ing 3000 attendees for this
coming year,
and 4500 in 2014. It is a 19+ non-alcoholicevent. Theyll
eventually be looking to buyland in the area for a permanent
home.
Gente e humourlots Wfe The Sunday School teacher was describing
how Lot's wife lookedback and turned into a pillar of salt, when
little Jason interrupted, "My Mommylooked back once while she was
driving," he announced triumphantly, "Andshe turned into a
telephone pole!"Dd Noah fsh?A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny,
do you think Noahdid a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark ?"
"No," replied Johnny. "Howcould he, with just two worms."Moses
& the Red Sea Nine-year-old Joey was asked by his mother what
he hadlearned in Sunday School. "Well, Mom, our teacher told us how
God sent Mosesbehind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the
Israelites out of Egypt . Whenhe got to the Red Sea , he had his
army build a pontoon bridge and all the peoplewalked across safely.
Then he radioed headquarters for reinforcements. Theysent bombers
to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved."
"Now,Joey, is that really what your teacher taught you?" his Mother
asked. "Well, no,Mom, but, if I told it the way the teacher did,
you'd never believe it!"Hgher PowerA Sunday school teacher said to
her children, "We have beenlearning how powerful kings and queens
were in Bible times. But, there is aHigher Power. Can anybody tell
me what it is?" One child blurted out, "Aces!"
