A little Harvest Market throwback!
Kootenay Seniors had a great time selling 50/50 tickets with our fantastic volunteers, who also shared a little Wisdom of the Koots! ❤️

Thanks to everyone who stopped by for a ticket, a chat, or a little wisdom!

Our 50/50 is still going and the jackpot is climbing! We’re hoping to keep that number growing and reach our goal. If you haven’t got your tickets yet, there’s still time!
