A touch of frost lets us know that fall is here and is a very wondrous season.
Mother Nature's display of leaves starting to turn is truly a beautiful sight to behold and the abundance of fruit and vegetables that we are able to enjoy from our gardens and the farmer's market are amazing.
Congratulations to all the senior athletes from Williams Lake and area who won 17 medals competing in the North Central Zone at the BC Seniors Games held in Langley from Sept. 9-13.
Also congratulations to all the seniors who entered articles in the Harvest Fair.
There are so many talented people who enter their works of art each year in the fair for all to enjoy.
It was equally enjoyable to see many of our young children enter their exhibits, as well.
The parents are to be commended for encouraging their children to participate.
