CrAsian Anniversary

Happy fourth season anniversary to CrAsian Food Truck owners Meiko and Courtney. You have had some amazing eats over the past couple years.

The CrAsian story is a short one. It all began when Courtney wanted a change of pace and Meiko was on her way to Germany.

Daydreams became plans. Plans became reality. Then a lot of hard work happened and we're living happily ever after now.


Tonight, they will be celebrating at Kettle River Brewing during the release of their new Spruce Willis White IPA release.  As always it’s a limited release so get there quick.  

On that note, congratulations to Kettle River Brewing Co. because on Sunday they will be turning one year old. 

The birthday barrel they have chosen to tap and celebrate with will be their Blonde Beer. They will be pouring samples of this from noon to 8 p.m. on Sunday.
 

Brightside Wedding DJs and Oranj Fitness Kelowna are bringing you the ninth annual Largest Outdoor Yoga Class this Sunday at 9 a.m. 

They will have Wes Please and Warner Jerome spinning some awesome tunes, the crew of Shine Kids Fitness Kelowna hanging with your little ones, and their friends from Glow Juicery Kelowna and Saje Wellness onsite with some free samples and high fives.

Click here for the list of instructors and DJs.
 

Cheers to Ben Pallet of Kitchen Sync Catering because his company turned two this week. 

Ben had a great write up talking about a wild couple of years, heaps of success that was made sweeter because of some challenging moments. 

He then thanked his family, friends and all of his guests because he knows it wouldn’t have been possible without all of you.

Give him a call for your next catering gig. You won’t be disappointed. 


Rockin the Beach happens tomorrow night at Waterfront Park. This is the first of what they hope will become an annual event and after you click here for all the details. I’m sure it will become an annual event.

Rockin the Beach is a classic rock extravaganza. There will be eight unique musical performances to raise funds for the SPCA. 

Tom Petty and Bruce Springstein tribute bands are the headliners but more classic rock artists will be showcased.  


Monday night the Kelowna Scotch and Fine Spirits Society is hosting Time Flies When Your Drinking Rum.  

This is great timing with summer upon us so if this interests you, buy your ticket and head on over to Okanagan Spirits on Bernard Monday night.


This week in my video blog I talk about being 50ish years old with the kids leaving for school or travelling and how to efficiently focus on your retirement. It’s a pretty funny video to end the season, so I hope you enjoy it.  

Make it a great week!
