A fair number of the tremendous group of organizers, partners and sponsors of the 2013 Kootenay Festival, which is set for Saturday, July 27th on Heritage Way across from the West Kootenay Regional Airport, was held Thursday, July 11 at the Castlegar Community Complex.

In the attached photo gallery you'll notice there's a core group of three in a lot of entries, they are likely to be the red-clad ladies handing out gifts to sponsors. They are festival volunteer committee members, from right: Audrey Maxwell-Polovnikoff, , Jacquie Hamilton and Susan Olheiser. Please click on individual photos for information.
