Lac la Hache Elementary School students, with help from parents, planted their summer gardens that included potatoes, carrots and turnips in mid-June.
Throughout the summer, the vegetable garden has been well tended to by a number of students and their parents.
They purchased a pumpkin plant from the Cariboo Plant Ranch and the purchase of the plant entered them into The Great Pumpkin Contest, which will be held during the South Cariboo Community Fall Fair at the South Cariboo Rec Centre, Sept. 5-6 in 100 Mile House.
The vegetables that are being grown in the school gardens will be harvested in the fall and will go towards the school’s Harvest Dinner that usually takes place in October as a fundraiser for student activities.
Coffee house
Pastor Bruce Wilcox, of the Lac la Hache Cariboo Presbyterian Church, is organizing the next coffee house, which will be an evening of music and song on Sept. 5.
Doors at the Lac la Hache Pioneer Centre will open at 6:30 p.m. and the music begins at 7.
This event will include a mix of bluegrass, folk, country and gospel songs by a number of different artists.
The event is free, but a voluntary donation may be made and that money will go to local charities. There will also be some sweet treats and refreshments available.
