What a thing to be proud of, I loved to see the picture of the blue ribbons hanging on the tree with the blue background, pooch in the front, very nicely set up I must say, proud you should be of the pooch.
We too took that road a few days ago from Nelson, Silverton, Nakusp, up to Galena Bay Ferry, to Revelstoke, then west and southward home when we had taken Chicory Farm her 3 buff orpington cockerels and quad of pullets. Two boys went to friends, the girls and one rooster stayed there. That road was indeed nothing short of amazingly beautiful, the lakeside drive was supreme. Nice that you got to the Kootenays of B.C. and took home some very beautiful ribbons. Nice. Have a wonderful day,
