Sources say that the Walk of stars gala gave resulted in an official designation of Merritt being the CMC of C. Something that was being gradually asserted over the past few years.

The 8th annual gala was this weekend and a fan from Oliver told me he has never missed one. The one  hundred dollars a plate dinner Saturday night was graced by Patricia Conway, billed as a Canadian Legend. A number of weekend events were billed as being attended by such as Casey Clarke-CMT Host , Tara Oram-Canadian Idol, Jim Byrnes and others in celebrity golf ,cutting horse events,night clubbing and tour of the town.

A good weekend for photography.
