Another carriage driving competition at the Huber Farm in 70 Mile House came to a close on July 19 under clear, sunny skies.
Unfortunately, this annual event drew fewer entries and spectators than past years. However, those who were there enjoyed the event.
Thanks go to the Huber family for hosting this annual event.
