Real Estate Recap

Posted in June's Kelowna Real Estate Blog on May 21, 2011

At this time the Kelowna orchards are blanketed with taraxacum seedheads and it's.....Victoria Day weekend!  A public holiday across Canada celebrating Queen Victoria's birthday on Monday, May 23rd as we are a member of the Commonwealth of Nations of which the Queen is head.

For Kelowna-ites and regular visitors, this long weekend marks the onset of summer activities such as opening up second get-a-ways,  putting boats in lake waters, prepping bikes for rides, heading out on the hiking trails, pulling out from storage deck and patio furniture, scheduling a bbq with family and friends, finalizing garden plantings and more.

Over the next three days I will be multi-tasking with work and play.  The play aspect offers a lot of great choices this weekend so I will be buzzing around to catch as much as I can of the Falkland Rodeo, Kelowna's Knox Mountian Hill Climb, Rutland May Day festivities, Okanagan Meadowlark Festival, and Pentiction, Peachland, Armstrong or Kelowna's Farmers Market!

Have a safe weekend and when you are chilling out with a cup of coffee, tea, bottle of beer or glass of wine in hand enjoy the Real Estate Recap format provided below of my past week news tweets:
