We drove up to Vernon to watch a Murder Mystery Dinner Show at this ranch. Since we were there…read moreearly and there was nothing to do, we decided to check out the farm animals they had. Much to our surprise, they didn't look anything like your average farm animal. Some chickens had plumes on the top of their head, making them look like they had a bad hair day; some had furry feet. The rams had four horns that looped around the side of their heads. They also had a dozen colorful birds. After a tour of the farm, we went back to the restaurant where the show was about to start. As the story went on, we were guided to different parts of the ranch. It wasn't a far walk, and the actors, though funny, were convincing. We headed back to the restaurant where we were seated with a few people we didn't know. Many people from Kelowna are friendly, so we didn't mind. Clues were passed around so we can guess who the murderer was, write it on a piece of paper and submit it for drawing. Before they revealed the murderer, we feasted on a buffet dinner, complete with an array of salads, veggie sides, prime rib, and desserts. When we were done, they revealed the murderer. The funniest part was reading what people have submitted for drawing. The first one who got it right got a CAD 50 gift card to the O'Keefe Ranch Gift Shop. You can't beat 50 bucks a person for both the show and dinner*! The show and dinner is only scheduled twice a year. Check their website calendar.

The tiny rural community of Ashton Creek (outside Enderby) supports Lorenzo's and so do many people from Vernon to Salmon Arm to Falkland. Lorenzo's has the best advertising- word of mouth loyal locals. Lorne has the gift of the gab and has managed to talk many, many, many touring musicians to stop by his place and do a show (between Calgary and Vancouver gigs.) Stop by Lorenzo's and enjoy the food, the drinks, the dance floor and the unique ambiance! (It used to be a bowling alley and Lorenzo's has the most unique salt and peppers I've ever seen.)

Al Scott is a very knowledgeable and skilled artisan, and does some fine work…read more Although I have never been to his studio in Vernon, I have seen and bought several pieces of his pottery via art 'shows' he has had elsewhere. I would be the first to admit to having a very difficult time not buying more than I did the last time I saw him, and the crafts he had on-hand. The pieces purchased have always held prominent display positions within my apartment-home. The several bowls (which I have displayed on shelving), and a large platter (placed on my dining room table), have brought me much personal pleasure, each and every time I look their way. Breakaway Pottery - beautifully-made pottery, and often very unique in design.
