Stone Soup Festival at Britannia

THE 14th ANNUAL STONE SOUP FESTIVAL - Saturday, May 9, 2009
This East Vancouver tradition marks the beginning of Spring and gives opportunity for the local community to celebrate together. This is our 14th year of bringing community together in celebration of spring, food, the environment and community itself. More than ever people are aware of the issues of food security, the benefits of sharing resources and eating ‘local’. Stone Soup will celebrate the global diversity of food, the environment and its importance to the ‘culture’ of our community. Stone Soup brings the community together in a quest to sample, explore, create, and experience with features such as: Latin American Foods Feast; Global Food Forum and Artist Talks; Food Workshops; Artist and Musicians; Farmer's Market; Food Film Festival; Crafts and of course FREE SOUP!

2 goodlooking men that if we were younger would have given them a run for their money, LOL

Lest we Forget

Today in the high school auditorium there was a concert, speeches, special guest & videos. It was so beautiful done & well presented by the students.
There was a choir with great songs & 1 solo that was superb. The band was great group of young students & the youngest was the trumpet player under 13.
The video was a PowerPoint of pics of 98 fallen Canadians in Afghanistan while the choir sang A Hard Rains Gonna Fall (Bob Dylan). Another PowerPoint they did was the school teachers holding an enlarge pic of a member of their family who fought in past wars, whether the 1st, 2Nd or Korean war. It was touching.
Capt Trevor Greene gave a short speech, he is now a quadriplegic. (March 2006)http://www.missingpeople.net/trevor_greene.htm
Let me tell you this was an emotional ceremony.
Prior to this we were all taken to lunch in the staff room. This is a yearly event & my first time. Of course I am the youngest 55+.
I have a nephew over there not in the military but with a private company. Another nephew who is graduating this month will be gong over there soon.
Pics were taken & will be posted when I get them.
