The cool green grass of the Mesachie Lake Skydome ball park welcomed everyone to come out and enjoy a Canada Day evening celebration July 1.
And, with fun and games, a big bouncy castle, onstage entertainment, two Canada Day cakes, and more, folks made their way to the event, organized by Cowichan Lake Recreation.
Piper Frank Nichol led in political representatives and the Lady of the Lake royalty and BC ambassador to officially start the evening.
Newly elected MLA Sonia Furstenau was able to make her first speech to a Cowichan Lake crowd since being elected, and so were the recently chosen Lady of the Lake, Desiree Karlsen and her princesses, Brooklyn Kruk, and Randi Robertson.
