Sunshine
Coast, BC
Discover the Undiscovered
Lund Shellfish
Festival
May 28, 29 and 30, 2010
The
clouds and light drizzle did not dampen the spirits of the Festival
participants who enjoyed the music, boat tours, food booths, cooking
demonstrations, presentations, live shellfish sales, kids’ activities, and
special menu items at the restaurants - there are activities for
everyone!. Special rates were offered by
Lund’s
accommodation providers and bus service to Lund
was provided from Powell River for only $2.00 per person.
Once
again the Lund Shellfish Festival was a “green” event and everyone used the
recycling bins which were placed at strategic locations. This event produced no
garbage.
Many
thanks to our 2010 sponsors; Valley Building
Supplies, Marine Traders, SunLund Campground, Powell River Sea Kayak, A.M.M.A.,
the Shellfish Growers Association, 95.7 SUN FM, Powell River Living Magazine,
Westview Realty, and the Powell River Regional District. It was their support that made this event so
much fun!
