Karen Sims is March's guest artiste in the Bridge Lake Library's Community Showcase.
Karen married Patrick Sims at the 108 Mile Ranch in September and now lives at Bridge Lake, and her seven-year-old daughter, Presley, goes to Bridge Lake School. "We just love it here," Karen says.
Her display will include "a variety – poetry, quilting, embroidery – stuff I've done since I was little."
Easter party
Highway 24/Interlakes Lions will host a Children's Easter Party at Interlakes Hall, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., April 19.
The children will see the Easter Bunny, and enjoy face-painting, games, cupcake painting and an Easter egg hunt.
The event is free including lunch, but for catering purposes, register children with Carolyn Charlton at 250-593-4582.
