The Saturday tour dates include: June 13<sup>th</sup>, July 11<sup>th</sup>, August 8<sup>th</sup> and September 12<sup>th</sup>. Each tour will begin at 9:30am at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery and last approximately two hours. For this tour Lawrna has kept six of the subjects from the previous tour and added ten new ones. Even if you came to last year’s tour you’re sure to learn something new! Lawrna will share stories about those who perished in the Okanagan Hotel Fire, some of the WW1 Internment Camp detainees, the young Lonnie Mohr, the Bernardo home child Joseph Harwood, and a prominent architect Robert Brown Bell, to name a few. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Tickets are $20.00/person with a limit of 20 participants per tour. To avoid disappointment you’re strongly encouraged to purchase tickets early. Tickets are only available at the museum and will not be available on the event date. Participants are asked to wear good walking shoes as the tour involves a considerable amount of walking and standing. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>For more information call the museum at 250-542-3142 or visit <a href="http://www.vernonmuseum.ca">www.vernonmuseum.ca</a> or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/vernonmuseum">www.facebook.com/vernonmuseum</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black;letter-spacing:-.45pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black;letter-spacing:-.45pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><img border=0 width=393 height=648 id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image004.jpg@01D08F05.2BAB27F0" alt="Cemetery Tour 2015 FINAL.jpg"><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Script MT Bold";color:#002060'>Denise Marsh<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Marketing & Communications Coordinator<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Greater Vernon Museum & Archives<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>3009-32nd Ave. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Vernon, BC, V1T 2L8<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(250)542-3142<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:dmarsh@vernonmuseum.ca">dmarsh@vernonmuseum.ca</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.vernonmuseum.ca/">www.vernonmuseum.ca</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.facebook.com/vernonmuseum">www.facebook.com/vernonmuseum</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Okanagan-Sports-Hall-of-Fame/234980133229713?ref=hl">www.facebook.com/pages/Okanagan-Sports-Hall-of-Fame/234980133229713?ref=hl</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='color:red'>Please note: My work days are Wednesday and Fridays 10:00am - 5:00pm.
