IPE 'a tremendous success'

Organizers of the Armstrong IPE are calling the 119th edition a tremendous success.

"I can’t thank the City of Armstrong and Township of Spallumcheen residents and businesses for allowing the community to grow from 5,000 to 150,000 over the five days of the fair," stated general manager Yvonne Paulson.

Paulson also announced the winners of this year's prizes, as follows:

  • Patio set – courtesy of Beachcomber Home Leisure was won by Kim Launtson of Vernon.
  • $1,000 gift cards from Monashee Outdoor Store, Chocoliro, Shepherds Home Hardware and Askews – Carmen Legate of Revelstoke.
  • $500 Cowboy’s Choice Gift Certificate – Dylan Beaumont of Vernon.

"There were thousands of entries and it’s surprising to see all three winners were from the North Okanagan/Shuswap area," stated Paulson.

"Plans are well underway for the 120th IPE next year. We will have our theme announced within the next couple of weeks."
