Peter Kidder and John Rawkins - his amigos in signs



On typical Spring Morning in the Okanagan Three Amigos left downtown Penticton with a truck full of signs, lumber, a few loose screws and a large sledge hammer. Traveling up and down and all around the valley from Naramata to Westbank, with frequent stops in Summerland, Peachland and Fantasyland the Amigos went. Before their arrival the countryside was a dull blue, with a wee splash of orange and absolutely no green. But after they did their work the valley was covered with brilliant RED and WHITE signs speaking of a coming wave of democracy. That democracy was in the form of a man called John Kidder who is a modern day " TRUE GRIT ". By the end of the day no stone was unturned, no person was left out and no vantage point was without a Liberal sign. The Three Amigos had left their mark up and down the valley from the Floating Bridge to the Naramata Bench.

For your viewing pleasure here are a few photos to mark the occasion.
