The streets in Merritt are full of activity today as at least two major projects for this small community are at work. Sanders and Company are busting up the pavement and concrete at the old Grasslands Hotel site as well.

A sewer and water upgrade and a beautification in the small downtown core are in progress.

The local legion is also readying its front for a country music possibly Merle Haggard according to an unconfirmed source. The about 10 x 10 black white and gray-scale portraits are done by the muralist Michelle Loughery and the Walk of Stars.

Fall Golf : file photo KDG

The weather is great here in Merritt and the colour of fall makes a visual feast.

The Nicola Valley Golf and Country Club makes allowances for weather to being open during the declining fall. There are many glorious days to golf each fall .

Indian summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that sometimes occurs in autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. The US National Weather Service defines this as weather conditions that are sunny and clear with above normal temperatures, occurring late-September to mid-November. It is usually described as occurring after a killing frost. source Wikipedia

This sheve wheel likely sat on top a mine head frame at one time and is now an object of interest in someones yard.

I drilled at a place called mill creek some years ago and there was a flooded shaft with a wooded head frame on it that this would be right at home with. There were lots of these glory holes about in the last century great depression era.
