The lineup to get into a local ski and board swap event today flowed out the door and onto the street.
The fundraiser was hosted at The Gathering Place next to the Broadview Evangelical Free Church in Salmon Arm. The consignment sale event has served as a fundraiser for the Larch Hills Nordic Society for over 30 years. Money raised at the event will go towards the society’s junior race team to cover travel costs and gear.

“It’s a good way to recycle here within the community,” said Cam Brown, the fundraiser’s organizer. “A lot of people can’t afford to buy new, so people come here.”
