Sunday, August 5, 2018
On Sunday, August 5, the Peachland Historical Society celebrated the grand opening of its new Peachland Fire & Rescue display building located outside the Peachland Museum. Okanagan Town Crier Bruce Klippenstein hailed the public to the event which started at the Peachland Museum at 1:30 pm with President Barbara Dionne making a presentation speech and Mayor Fortin cutting the ribbon surrounded by members of the Peachland Fire and Rescue Brigade who largely funded the construction project. The ceremony proceeded with the antique fire hose-cart (which the new building houses for display purposes) being drawn to the Rotary Pavilion in Heritage park. There at 2 pm a cake was cut and served to the public.
