was given a taste

of the Wild West
last Friday night as cowboys
and cowgirls filled the
streets for the Dundarave
Hoedown.

Beneath a harvest moon, the
crowds gathered on Marine
Drive for the Dundarave
Merchants’ Association’s annual
event, now in its ninth year.

Entertainment included the
C&W sounds of Mary Oban and
the Rockollas, square dancing
led by Doreen Siltary and line
dancing lessons by Dance
Expressions on a flat-bed truck.

For junior cowpokes, a petting
zoo and free pony rides were
provided by the Mark Seven
Ranch in the Fraser Valley.

Western fare included a corn
roast hosted by Capers, bratwurst
on a bun from Freybe and IGA,
candy floss and popcorn. A well-
attended beer garden was
stocked with beverages donated i
by Okanagan Springs. a a
