NEW FORMAT - OKnow list for the week of NOV 3 - 9

OKnow list - be in the know for the week of NOV 3 - 9

_____________________________________________

*** New FORMAT for OKnow***

The Okanagan is a big place and it’s come to my attention that  organizing the listings by location would be helpful - especially for those of you who live at one end of the valley or the other.   So in the abbreviated listings at the top of each week’s listing, they will be organized as follows:

-  OKANAGAN LISTINGS includes events that the whole valley can participate in (either through events in multiple locations or through calls for submissions and such).

- NORTH includes Vernon, Enderby, Armstrong, Lumby, Salmon Arm, etc.

- CENTRAL includes Kelowna, Lake Country, Westbank, and Peachland.

-  SOUTH includes Summerland, Penticton, Naramata, etc.

The detailed event listings will be identified by their number in the overall listings.

Please feel free to share your thoughts, comments or further suggestions on the OKnow blog:

oknowlist.blogspot.com                                                            Thanks! KTB
