Day 4 Penticton

We headed out after breakfast for Naramata.It's a nice drive through orchards and vineyards. I was amazed at the number of wineries.They outnumber the orchards now.

We found the tiny Naramata Museum, it was closed but luckily the lady who runs it showed up while we were looking around and let us in. she was very happy to get my mothers memoirs. she is a Naramata native and new mom's family history. They had old photos on display and we saw mom and her sisters in their school photos from the early 20's.
She gave us a couple of booklets about Naramata and thanked us many times for coming , so that was nice.

We drove back to Penticton for lunch then went up the other side of the lake to Summerland.
We were looking for the Kettle Valley Railroad Society. They operate a steam train from there.
My dad had written a journal of his days working for the KVR in the 40's and we wanted to drop a copy off. The train wasn't running today but there was a lady there who was a member of the Society and she was happy to take the journal.

Our work done , we stopped at the Summerland Fall Fair. Lots of home baking and vegetable growing competitions. A real old fashioned fair.

Arrived back at the trailer about 3:30 and set about writing this blog. The internet connection is very weak so my posts don't always go through, then I have to start all over again.

Tomorrow we will hang and enjoy the beach and can the peaches we bought in Keremeos.
