Rock Creek Fall Fair

The Rock Creek Fall Fair is this weekend. Lots to see and do. Stop by the Local History display and say hi to Janine's Mom.

I haven't been for a few years, parking was so much easier in my Jr, High years. Our school band would go by bus and be dropped off the gate. We played the national anthem and a few other pieces.

Note that Sunday entrance is a little lower than Saturday, trying to spread out the crowd more over the two days.

This is an old photo, but it keeps popping up - from our MLA this year. If you don't recognize these Baldy family sunflowers, L-R Owen, Andrew, Jenny and Rutka.

 

Want some red and pink flowers for next year??

The paintbrush require a host plant. I put seeds right next to tufts of grass on the bank in front of my place, and they re-seed themselves. I had a great showing this year, but mowed them down as the fire danger increased.

If you want some seed, there are plenty on the bank above my travel trailer - tall brown stalks with seeds. Help yourselves.

I usually remember to plant them just before the snow flies.

Five Tar and Gravel Spitters

Oil/tar sprayed from the front, gravel/sand sprayed from the side. Five trucks on McKinney Road.

 

At the side of the road..........

On the way down this morning, 3 pick-ups parked close together off to the side of the road. Foresters? 

Fortis Upgrade?

Parking lot with many Fortis trucks, a couple of SxS units, and a helicopter.

 

Who the H^&* do they think is going to clean up after them?

Our transfer station is for household waste and certain recyclables.

You loaded up and hauled, you can take the stuff where it belongs.

Look it up on the RDKB website.

Roadside Mowing

YRB had a contractor mowing beside the road on the weekend. A grader with a hinged mower.

Definitely an improvement for the stop sign, but won't make a difference for the local who thinks the sign doesn't apply to him.
