See, the groundhog was right...spring is on it's way!
Joyce met me after work and we took our tour of the two new exhibitions at the Touchstones Museum and Gallery ...one was filled with Hockey Memorabilia outlining the history of Hockey in Nelson, including a whole section on the Ladies Hockey team, the Blueliners. Joyce knew half the people they were talking about, or knew their families, through her work at the Mount.Many players who were highlighted from the Trail Smokies,were also names we both recognized, such as Seth Martin and Addie Tambelini.The old team photos, and jerseys on display are worth taking in the show. Ted Hargreaves and Ernie Gare were mainstays in the hockey history of Nelson, and I am sure that their names will always be associated with their love and promotion of the game, here in the Kootenays.
The big gallery showed off the talents of the the Design group called Freshly Squeezed. It gave everyone a new outlook on how products are marketed.. using, emotion, fact, or future promises. Many of the installations were interactive, giving everyone a chance to get involved with the piece.
We had fun choosing options on a computer and how our choices compared to other people. Also we COULD have drawn all over a whole wall, but a few young people took over the felt pens and we were left high and dry with our expert opinions and catchy phrases that could have made up part of the installation. Next time, we'll head for the felt pens immediately!
Okay...ta-ta for now. I talked to Sonia dn apparently there were no earth tremours that she could feel. Apparently the threat has been down graded. Good.
Also ,she and Annette took in the Barenaked Ladies Concert ...best concert she had been to!
Also,Sonia took part in a clothing exchange..some friends each brought ten pieces of clothing or jewellry to exchange with the other gals... Great idea eh? Sonia unloaded her stuff and came home with new and fun things. She was happy, and they were too!
Nighty night...skiing will come early.
