Cars! People! So much of it today in Peachland. It’s the 23rd World of Wheels, and I parked far, far away to take photos:
My first stop was the 50+ Centre, where they were just wrapping up their pancake breakfast. Hi everyone!
Then, I hit Cousins Park:
Overheard at the park: “You could always tell the different car kinds back then – today, everything just looks the same.”
Hey, it’s the Okanagan Folk School!
And the Hub Society! They say fundraising efforts are going really well so far. They want to reno / expand on the 50+ Centre to provide a home for all local community groups:
And the Peachland Wellness Centre was manning a parking lot they set up beside the Elementary School. A shuttle bus went back and forth, and proceeds from the parking went to the Hub. They were in for a busy day!
OK, more cars. I though some of them had cool faces:
..The Blues Brothers made an appearance:
And more vehicles:
Very busy down here!
Our awesome Peachland firefighters had their trucks on display. This little guy was about to get a tour!
I also said hi to the Rotary and the Lions – a couple of them had been up since 5 a.m!
The Peachland Ambassadors were around, too!
Annnd more vehicles:
Lots of car-type conversations as you walk by, none of which really makes sense to me, lol. It was nice to see Peachland hosting a big event again, and everyone enjoying our town. Even if it took me forever to get to the IGA to pick up a couple groceries on the way home!
Well done, World of Wheels Committee! There was definitely reason to celebrate:
