FLOATING LANTERN CELEBRATION - SUNDAY SEPT 24th at 7 pm (BC Rivers Day)
From the You Can't Make This Up Dept, construction on the Shuswap River Bridge in Enderby started today and is single lane with a traffic light. We've been assured that for tonight only, Lantern watchers can use the bridge sidewalk on the upstream side. We suggest parking downtown and walking to the Belvidere Park. For those who need to park at the Chamber or at the Ashley Furniture parking lot, please use Granville St (by Okanagan Fertilizer) to get to Railway St and avoid the traffic lights entirely.
Tonight we launch hundreds of lanterns at dusk (7 pm-ish) on the river in Enderby from Belvidere Park (by the bridge) to celebrate BC Rivers Day. With the river so low, we will pulling the lanterns out to the middle of the channel with our new noodle boom after having people bring their lanterns in a procession to the waterside using the new hand launch just upstream from the Park. This event and the Lantern Making Workshops are free to all.
This afternoon, we have one final Lantern Making Workshop taking place at Belvidere Park (in front of the Chamber of Commerce) from 2 - 5 pm.
BYOLED - if you are bringing a lantern (around 6:30 pm please), you can help us out immensely by bringing your own LED tealight candle as we are not going to use traditional candles due to the continued fire risk. Not to worry if you don't have one, we've got plenty available, but we want to ensure all lanterns are lit. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that you will get your LED candle back, but we do retrieve all lanterns at the boat launch at the Riverside RV Park on Kildonan Ave and will keep them for future years (you are welcome to reclaim your lantern at that location).
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - come join our volunteer team of canoeists / kayakers / SUPers / rowboaters who help coerce the lanterns along the river path and then retrieve them, and get the best view of the lanterns. Our new noodle boom should make this job much easier this year. Best to arrive before 6:30 pm to use the launch sites. LED headlamps are helpful.
Featured above is one the large lanterns created this year. This Salmon Lantern was created by a group of creative folks associated with the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre, our not-for profit, volunteer driven community based salmon hatchery and environmental education centre (http://kingfishercentre.com).
Also watch for a new Red Tipi Lantern that has been created to raise awareness and remember the MMIW (Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women).
Donations to Runaway Moon Theatre Society are always welcome to support our projects. We thank our many volunteers who help make this annual event a success.
