The Gymnastics season is winding down. Only one competition remains in the 2009/2010 competitive season and several athletes are travelling to Kelowna. The year-end review is June 26 - this is an opportunity for all recreational and competitive athletes to showcase the skills they acquired this year. 

More like wicked hot! 

In honor of the hot months of summer to come, the North Peace Potters’ Guild is back at it with their upcoming annual Chili Bowl Bash Fund Raiser on Friday June 18, 6pm. 

Guests are invited to come to the ArtsPost, home of the Potters’ Guild, to enjoy some of the best chili Fort St. John has to offer.  A variety of local ‘chili gurus’ will be serving up something spicy (okay and some mild offerings too) and they want you to be the judge of who’s got the winning recipe.  The best part is that the potters have been busy crafting beautiful bowls for you to choose from and keep!  For the cost of a $25 ticket, you can eat as much chili as you can handle, select a one of a kind hand-crafted ceramic bowl, and support the North Peace Potters’ Guild.  Now that’s a win-win situation.  For tickets call Natalie at 250-785-4326.
