Sunglasses Found

At yesterday's Summer Market (08/26/2023) someone left their sunglasses on my table.

If you believe these are your glasses, then please E-mail me with a description of them, and we can make an arrangement to get them back to you.

ThINC Nature House - Weekend Activities

Saturday, August 26

2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Seaquarium Drop-in: Sea Critter Release!
Location: The Nature House at The Portal, 254 North Cove Road / The Government Dock

Parting is such sweet sorrow, but the endearing and charismatic critters in the Seaquarium need to return to their sea homes today. We’ll be carefully releasing all the fish, sea stars, crabs, and other creatures, and you are invited to the farewell party! We will begin by releasing some of the shallower water dwellers at the beach at the Portal, and then around 3:00pm we will go to the community dock to release the creatures who need cooler, deeper waters.

Sunday, August 27
10:00 am - 12:00 pm drop-in
Harvest Hours at The PAG (all ages)
Location: The People’s Apothecary Garden, Lot 62

Today is the last scheduled ‘open hours’ at the PAG. The garden is beginning to wind down for the season - but there are still lots to be harvested! The plantains (ribwort and broadleaf) are going to seed and are great (and healthy!) addition to breads, soups, and smoothies!
This Saturday at Howling Wolf Market will also be the last opportunity of the summer to pick up one of our fancy ThINC shirts, so if you’ve been ThINCing of grabbing one, now is the time!

Saturday Market August 26th Fundraiser for Okanagan and Thompson-Nicola Regions SPCA

This Saturday at the Summer Market I will be collecting donations to help with the cost of helping the pets rescued from the horrendous fires in the areas of the Okanagan and surrounding areas. In exchange for your donations I will have dog coats and bandanas that you can choose from. I will also have deck and patio signs available as well.

Drop by and donate what you can.

Wanted

Does anyone have a new spf 2"x4"x12' that I could borrow until next week when I can return it after I go to Home Depot? I have a lot of lumber here but mine is weathered and could have nails in it? I also prefer not to have anything with a possibility of insects in it coming into the house.
