Events in the Shuswap - Summer 2022 Edition

When I think about summer in the Shuswap, it usually involves time on the boat, a campfire, trail running and eating outside. We also have a few things we have to do at least once each summer like getting ice cream from every ice cream place around the Shuswap at least once. And there are also a number of events which are traditions for my family - the parade in Blind Bay on Canada Day, getting cookies at the Salmon Arm Farmers Market, Wednesdays on the Wharf to name a few. 

I started a list of events going on around the Shuswap this summer that are totally worth checking out.
