How did you spend your Canada Day? Hope it was awesome! I spent the day at the South Shuswap Canada Day Market in Blind Bay. My family has gone to the Canada Day celebrations there for many years. I was about one and a half the first time I watched the parade of old cars and floats. That is me and my Dad.
after launching our online store last spring, we had a few different retailers reach out to carry parts of the Shuswap Soul line. Then I started reaching out to others (and if you are an awesome retailer in the area, we should talk ;)
i decided to be a store in the Canada Day market this year. We got a tent, ordered some extra stuff including some awesome insulated water bottles since every other year I have been to the Canada Day market it has been crazy hot. My Dad helped me paint some signs and figure out how to hang a clothing bar in a tent.
I got to meet lots of people. Even in the rain, I was excited about how many people came out to see the parade, hear live music, eat some food and check out the market. I also had a chance to meet other vendors from the area and some awesome people including Jody from Big Juicy Life who wrote this cool story about my company. As a side note, White Lake Organics makes the best chocolate chip cookies!
My mom and I made this little video of our day except we forgot to take any shots when there were lots of people around
It was so great to meet you and check out your “hot” product. I live in Calgary and grew up in the Shuswap. I love to return to visit, it still feels like home. I bought a pretty purple tshirt that I proudly wear. I have had so many comments on it, they always say" the Shuswap is so beautiful" I agree! I was thrilled to see that you have a website and online catalogue. I would like to order more purple shirts for women and I do not see it as a choice in your online menu. Please advise how and where to get more? I am back in
SA in a few weeks. My email is simba.5@shaw.ca
