Longtime Lone Butte resident Gerry Blais celebrated his 80th birthday surrounded by friends and family who travelled from throughout British Columbia to help him welcome another milestone year.

Vendors who would like to sell their crafty creations or people who would just like to start spring cleaning early are invited to rent a table for the craft and flea market to be held at the Lone Butte Community Hall on March 29.

It's still a bit too early for treasure hunting at yard sales, so come out to do some buying and selling at this event. Give Pat McKay a call at 250-395-2114 or Audrey Burnell-Higgs at 250-395-4206 to book your spot.
