Headin' for the Hills (Garlic Festival, that is)!

It was another fine, totally blue sky day in the Koots for the Hills Garlic Festival. Ironically enough, the festival is no longer held in Hills where this picture was taken. It takes place in New Denver, about 12 km from Hills. There was a huge crowd out for the event once again this year and we enjoyed sampling lots of garlic goodies. Marilyn and I each managed to spend a little less than $100.00 and came home with jewelry, honey, candles and food, of course. We also visited the Nikkei Memorial Centre in New Denver and took a quick trip to Hills (to take the picture) and enjoyed a quiet sit by Wilson Creek at Rosebery Provincial Park. Then we tried out the Mexican food at the Wild Rose Restaurant in Rosebery - a bit too crowded today to really test the kitchen.
