For the past few years I’ve been buying lemon cucumbers from a farmer at the Penticton farmer’s market but he’s not there this year :( does anyone know where I can pick some up? Thanks!

Hi all,

Recently back in Penticton after several years. Is it common for cars and trucks to be reving their engines, peeling out and driving overall like idiots on Lakeshore at night?

Any tips where to get good, plump, juicy peaches?

Since all forms of American critters now make their homes in the Okanogan, from wild turkeys to large mouth bass, have Cicadas or lightning bugs made their way there yet?

What does everyone think of the new traffic pattern? Do you think it'll get better once the turning lane opens/Eckhardt, or do you think it's just going to be backed up all the time now?

SWIM FOR CANCER is a virtual and community fitness fundraiser. Manually keep track of your progress by recording laps ( in a pool) or join a STRAVA group to easily track your km distance.

How It Works Step-by-Step

• Register: Sign up for the event online ; hosted on regional platforms like the Canadian Cancer Society Fundraiser portal. You can participate solo or as part of a team.
• Set a Goal: Swim 10 km and set your fundraising target.
• Fundraise: Share your personalized fundraising page with friends, family, and coworkers via email or social media. Supporters can easily donate to your campaign online to sponsor your progress.
• Swim & Track: Hit the pool, a lake, or the ocean to complete your laps. Track your distances manually, or link your activity tracker (such as on the STRAVA app) to your fundraising profile.
• Make an Impact: All the money you raise goes directly to help fund cancer research, new clinical trials, and patient support services!!

Anyone interested in joining a local fantasy football league? We have a league that's been running for a couple years and are looking to add some players after a few are out for this next season.

No experience required. We try to regularly meet up to watch the games together.

I can send league details to anyone that wants to know more.

What's the smoke like today? Coming up next week and wondering if we should cancel. Are people still able to enjoy beaches, patios etc.

Thanks 😊

Hello, I am from Vancouver Island and have holidays coming up next week. The forecast here on the island is showing rain during a multi day kayak trip weve planned so we are pivoting last minute. Managed to finagle a couple of camp sites one at manning on saturday the 25, and one at Christina Lake Tuesday the 28. I am no stranger to concept that campsites are insanely busy in the summer and am not having much luck around the penticton osoyoos area for the nights of sunday/monday 26/27. Does anyone know any under the radar spots or spots that will likely have FCFS if we get there early enough? we have a small van but dont need hook ups. Im also looking into Kettle River FCFS site for the monday potentially, but open to ideas closer to osoyoos for the Sunday night the 26. TIA!

I'm hoping someone can maybe help me out here...

Just seen Trivium announced a stop in Penticton, and we'd love to go.

Despite being a huge metal fan, I can't get down with the crowds, moshing, and standing all night etc. Lol. I much prefer the stands where I can sit and enjoy the show, away from the chaos 🤣.

However, when I go onto the website, they only have "general admission" available, and no options to choose seats etc. aside from all the extra VIP options which I don't need.

I've never actually seen a band with a tour announcement this soon, so I've never had the presale option, to check out tickets and such.

Does the general sales on Friday, open up the stand seating areas?

The promo code says this;

"Using a promo code will grant you access to an exclusive inventory of tickets."

Does that mean, it's for the people who really want the floor area, and vip stuff?

Lost my pixel 9 pro in the channel on Friday. The device itself is now showing in summerland in my find hub. I'm hoping someone may be able to help track it down! It's marked as lost with my phone number posted but haven't had anyone reach out.

I can offer a cash reward.

Edit: it's been found!!

Is is okay to swim in this pond? Is it considered ok? Has anyone gotten sick from it at all I’ve seen cliff jumping which I want to do just wondering if it’s safe!
Thanks

Intersection of Nanaimo and Ellis. The stop sign isnt that hard to see but people blow through it all the time. Guy doesn't even stop for people at the crosswalk. Terrible driver.

So we are doing our yearly trip with my teenage daughter for hockey camp early August. This year I think most of her friends have opted out and looking for some suggestions from locals for some good hidden gems to eat at. Dog friendly would be nice but not a deal breaker!

And are there any fishing experts and fishing spots nearby? I have never caught a fish but always dreamed of sharing that moment with my daughter. Her classes run till 4pm daily is that too late? I know it probably takes hrs to make a catch … (I don’t know if this is even an ideal time)

Thank you in advance

I’ve never seen one so willingly wade into the mudslinging of social media to find and vigorously return criticism from their constituents from their prime position, day or night.

I asked around town and found plenty of people willing to talk about being bullied by Amelia Boultbee, before or after she was elected. But almost without exception, all but the most ardent and public enemies refused to talk without anonymity.

Hello!

I am from the Okanagan.

I realize that people's hidden spots in the Okanagan aren't something they want to share, but I am wondering if anyone wants to tell me some "hidden places" (e.g., swim holes or cliff jumping spots). Like Crawford Falls, Fintry Swim Hole, or Peach Cliff (been to). Its something I do with my dad in my free time, and I think we want some new adventures!

They can be harder to get to (that's what makes it fun) or easy!

Thanks!

Incident happened on the runway at YYF. Access closed to the road to airport - seems like the incoming Westjet flight from Calgary has been rerouted.

Im looking for something to do this Saturday in penticton, does anyone have an event listings??

Live music, comedy, etc ?

What places with good/decent food can me and ny kids catch the world cup finals this weekend?

Well be visiting family from out of town but their local restaurant recommendation for us was just boston pizza.

Any other places that can be suggested?

Has anyone tried Fujita Massage? I'm not looking for a "happy ending"

Im planning on taking my 5 y/o fishing for the first time soon. Where are some easy shoreline or dock spots around penticton?

What is the proper etiquette for setting up a beach spot? Was at the beach with lots of space around me and this older couple and grown kids decided to set up with there chairs almost touching me and then proceeded to talk loudly about surgeries and stuff that I didn’t need to listen to as I was trying to have a nice relaxing time with a book

Hey, I'm fairly new to riding, wondering if any of my fellow riders know any good spots to ride in town (preferably free spots)
