With fingers crossed, the sun will shine on Sundays and the Bowen Island Museum and Archives will come to the summer market with a table of goodies. For those who are finding it difficult to remember what a hot summer day feels like, here is a photo from our photographic collection in the archives: here pose Mary Ellen Dorman and Carol McGregor on a Sannie, docked at the wharf in the 50's. Don't they look stylish? If you are interested in seeing more priceless Bowen moments in history, our photographic database is available from our website bih.andornot.com.
At the Market we will have books for sale, including our newest publication, Bowen Island: Reflections, which recounts the history of Bowen through photographs from our archives. This year, for some affordable fun, we are also selling pins decorated with images from our archives. The pins will also be available at the archives if you miss us at the market. We will be at the market July 24, 31, and August 14th. Hope to see you there!
