With a wee time to go to May 1st and the pending opening of the house for tours, the staff say that it will help if people would come down and buy donated household goods currently on display in the house. Want to beat inflation? Use your buying power to pick multiple items from the historical society so they can open the property for tours.

The commercialization of space has been a process that mirrored some of the disasters of the governments attempts to get into space for national defense purposes. This utilitarian outreach is something to be considered ,as it is still a pipe dream in some sense .

NMS_2779

The local city council is wanting to re brand Merritt.the city has had the protected brand of “The Country Music Capital of Canada for a several years, this includes the walk of stars and the Canadian Country music hall of fame on Quilchena Avenue. The city hosted the Merritt Mountain Music Festival for more than a decade. and now the local council is putting forward  a rebranding program “farm fresh”. The City has a good farmers market  in the summer months on Voght street and the branding directed to re-enforce that would seem to have been  a fait to complete. However when the press reported it this week the backlash was considerable. So a public meeting for the 12th has been called.

Farm Fresh is depicted by a couple under a blanket standing with their heads covered  in a field.

The meeting is from 6-8 Pm at  the Merritt Civic Center, it is under the auspices of Tota an anachronism for the new tourism plan.
