Some people try to build a brand by keeping it consistent.

Gabe Cipes, one of the Okanagan's finest artistic creative, isn't one of those people.

This weekend Gabe and the Conduit Collective are hosting the newly renamed Fertility Festival. I think this festival gets a new name every year.

If you love all things organic, thought that the Mad Hatter exhibit beside Parkinson rec last year was brilliant, and you enjoy hanging out with the Okanagan's most creative artists and artisans then attendance is a must. I'd love to give you the history of this event and its humble roots that go back over a decade with an event called Duo-tone, but I'd rather you take the moment of your time you are sharing with me to take a look at this extensive event outline.

Truly something for everyone.

Each and every year I am amazed at the collaboration that this groups achieves. I've listed their full event information  below.

It's held at Summer Hill Winery, 4870 Chute Lake, this Friday May 11th.
