A special event was held next to the final Farmer’s Market of the season on Saturday September 18^th.  Climbers, friends and members of the First Baptist Church sponsored a fund raising event to support Ronald McDonald House. These young people know several local people who had need to use Ronald McDonald House in recent months and they thought this would be a fun way to support this much valued facility.  In the 24 hour period chosen, the three climbers, Gord McArthur, Travis Norrie and Jesse Cuthill climbed more than the height of Everest from sea level to the peak.  The climbing wall parts of which some come from their own back yards and were built by these three local climbers put together made this impressive wall. Donations enabled many people to enter the draw for many great items donated by local businesses such as High Country Sportwear.
Gratitude and applause to all the people involved in this great event.

and the winners are.....!
