Top 10 reasons to look forward to fall

Summer sure feels like its over, even that late afternoon glow reminds of skipping class in September to "study" on the backfield.
There is still a few quick weeks left of summer, so make what you want of it.
However as fall approaches, Im taking the liberty to point out the top 10 reasons to look forward to autumn in Fernieland.

Top 10 Reasons to Look Forward to Fall in Fernie:

10. Fall Fashion
Sick Hoodies, Cords, New Jeans, Fall jackets, Leggings with cute dresses, TALL BOOTS!!! AHHHHH!!! FUN! Also this is the best time for Clothing Swaps!

9. Sports/Drinking at The Pub.
Dull rainy days call for ceasers and wings at the Pub. Just the comfortating way to make it thru till winter. Ghostrider games are back, NHL reappears and people commit to yoga classes.

8. Starting to plan out your winter ski/snowboard look/steez.
Scenesters and hill regulars get more amped on what they are gonna rock this year then what the Farmers Almanac forecasts. Dont you know its a fashion show up thuurrrr! duh

7. New people arrive.
Ahhh the fresh meat hits the streets and clubs. Entertaining for both sexes.

6. Vacations. If you were smart you saved your coin and have a fall trip planned. I am going to Maui. I put it on my credit card tho, Im half smart??? If you didnt save anything you can enter to win a trip to Costa Rica HERE

5. Demolition Derby
Sunday September 6th, Fernie Rodeo Grounds.
Brought to you by the fine folks from the Lions Club this specktacle will leave you with a hangover from hell and laughs and smiles for years. I recall my first experience with the Derby. I was young, naive, and working as a tv reporter. I was on the hunt for some good local television (chuckle). Well, I got my tv segment, along with sharp destinct memories of some of the best mullets I have ever seen in real life. Also, I gained a new respect for a "side" of Fernie that keeps this place a colourful and interesting city to reside in.

4. Food
Taste of Fernie and Taste of Scotch. PLUS with fall harvest, zuccinni loaves, pumpkin pies and butternut squash soup will keep you warm and toasty.

3. Kids go back to school, nuff said.

2. Halloween Parties and Secret Bush Raves. AHHH I love halloween, I take it almost as serisouly as my costumes for Shambhala. Last year I was Marie Antionette, I dont have anything planned yet, but never doubt me. And I hope there is another secret bush rave this year. So much fun. I hear its up Hartley Lake Road this year...

1. ALBERTANS GO HOME AND STOP BITCHING ABOUT GAS AND PST.
Wow, I know I work in retail and I should think about a career change and all, but fuck, Im fucking over explaining to Albertans, that yes, you do have to pay PST even tho you are from Alberta. And yes our province has PST, and yes it sucks for you cuz you arent used to it. You are here on vacay and Im very happy you chose Fernie, and Im happy you are shopping in the stores here, but you are irritating me to high hell. Our province is awesome, Im happy to pay the tax if it means I get to be in BC and not in AB. If you cop this 'tude with me one more time, Im not going to let you buy those $8 earrings that are on sale 50% off. This fall we do get a break from the tourists. Its okay to say it, we love tourism money ya ya ya, but its nice to have a break for our sanity. Right??? Or has retail made me a cold hard bitch? Don't answer that you dick.
