The winter months are a great time to perform larger tasks around your yard and implement other changes to your property. If you’re looking for a good place to start, consider completing some tasks in the Intermediate Zone of your property.
The Anarchist Mountain Fire Department (AMFD) was honoured to attend the First Responders Awards and Gala hosted by the Rotary Club of Osoyoos. The Gala was an opportunity to show appreciation and recognize the dedication of those working for our community.
On December 3 the first Baking Exchange was held and it was a sweet treat. About a dozen bakers got together to share dozens of homemade cookies, bars and some time together over tea and punch.
A snowy afternoon didn’t stop the event from being a success and everyone agreed we need to do this again next year. Some of the trays that went home provided enough goodies for the entire holiday season while other trays were devoured within days.
The Mountain Community is invited to attend the annual party at the Anarchist Mountain Fire Hall on December 17th at 5pm. This catered event is co-hosted by AMCS and AMFD and will be free to residents.
The event is open to all ages and we will provide soft drinks, tea, coffee and a spectacular charcuterie table from Queen of the South catering. You can bring your own drinks and glasses if preferred. Come out and mingle with your neighbours!
A visit is expected from a special guest arriving from the North Pole to surprise the kids in all of us.
Last Sunday afternoon community society members gathered at the Firehall to vote in the new 2024 board members as well as receive updates on what has happened over the last year. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) concluded with the appointment of four returning and three new directors.
You may have noticed less evidence of black bears out and about on the mountain now that late fall is in full swing and the delicious insects, small mammals, berries, grasses and root plants have disappeared or hardened off (gone brown and dormant). After feasting for weeks on calorie-rich foods to gain as much weight as possible, Anarchist’s bears have started to hole up for the cold, snowy winter months ahead.
We are excited to announce a change in our upcoming Anarchist Mountain Community Christmas Gathering. After much consideration, we have decided to transition this year from our beloved community potluck to a catered cocktail party.
Over the years, our community potlucks have been a cherished tradition, bringing us together over delicious homemade dishes, shared stories, and warm camaraderie. We’ve watched our community flourish and expand and our numbers have grown.
In fact, we have outgrown the space that the Firehall provides for a sit down meal in colder weather, hence our need to change things up this year.
Come and mingle with your neighbours at the firehall and enjoy the amazing food provided by Queen of the South Charcuterie. There will be some seating for those that need it.
We look forward to seeing you this year at the annual Community Christmas gathering. All mountain residents are welcome.
Tickets are limited and typically sell out! Get yours early for a chance to win one of two beautiful handmade quilts while supporting the AMFRS. It’s a win-win!
