Driver Pat Crema of Prichard showed her skills as she navigated George around an obstacle while groom Jeremiah Jacobse of Mission urged the driver to be cautious at a previous Cariboo Trails event in 70 Mile. This year’s event will take place from Sept. 29, 30 and Oct. 1 with dressage for Friday, cones on Saturday and a three kilometre marathon on Sunday. All events begin at 9 a.m. at the Huber Farm.

With the funding now in place, for the fire department to have a year-round high volume water supply, the next step is to determine the location.

The water supply could be a well or a lagoon. When all of the options are compiled, a town meeting will be held to hear suggestions or concerns.

Carriage event

The carriage driving event is on this weekend, Sept. 29-Oct. 1 at the Huber Farm.
