Beam me up Scotty and take me back to the day when I can ride one of these!!
This fun annual event held every September was created by the Knights of Columbus. Local businesses and locals construct new carts for lucky kids who enjoy a day of fun, fun, fun racing & riding these cool contraptions with the possibility of big cup at the end of the day. Last weekend was no exception to the yearly success of this cool community event.

If you have never been to the taste of Fernie before make sure to mark your calender for next year!! Locals and tourists enjoyed a fanfare of amazing food samplers from the best restaurants and bars in town, an array of live entertainment, creative and fun craft stations for the children, a beer and wine garden & this event is also the last chance for locals to utilize the Fernie mountain market ….check out the picture below of the gigantic pumpkin & sunflower, from the biggest and best locally grown produce competition. I would have to say that this is the show and shine of Fernie. This year even the shops joined in with tents of sale items displayed on the side walks.

If you have not enjoyed cliff jumping at silver springs yet…Enlighten your spirit. Hike out to the third lake with the kids and on the return pull a major jump off one of the cliffs, with a trick thrown in for good measure. Not only will it absolutely refresh you but your children will be in awe.

What a great way to spend a Saturday for the whole family. Kathy & Sarah provided bear cake, bear cookies and bear activities for the little ones during the day. With Bear paw molding being #1 hit. Charlie Russell made an appearance all afternoon /evening to show his movie Edge of Eden and host a personal slide show of his amazing experiences with bears. People also had the opportunity to chat with Charlie on a one to one basis and ask questions.

Charlie Russell spent numerous years in Russia as an effort to better understand human/ bear interaction as well as help the plight of bears. He was in a secluded area of Russia that enabled him to raise several bear cubs …Edge of Eden a movie well worth watching.

The demolition derby held this September long weekend was exciting! Over 3,000 spectators sporting fantastic enthusiasm and creative attire enjoyed watching 51 drivers basically smash, crash & plough into each other in the rodeo grounds aka smash down palace. This is a great fundraiser that the Fernie Lions have organized for local charities. I’m already thinking about a suitable outfit for next year!

43 contestants showed up to compete in the project nine race this year (twice as many competitors as last year) A great time was had by every one. This is just one of several mountain bike races that are being held in Fernie this September.
More trails, more signage and more competitions such as this makes Fernie a great mountain bike destination.
