Dundarave Hoedown

GRAB yer partner, do si do. West Vancouver's Dundarave Business Association and the Merchants of Dundarave welcomed in the month of September with a bang as they held their annual family Hoedown on Sept. 2. It was barbecues, pony rides, dancing in the streets, live music and more as young and old donned their western gear to play cowboy. A nice mild evening brought people down in droves and, by the looks of it, everyone was kicking up their heels. Yahoo!


Ken and Marian Snowball work at BC Partners in Planning in Dundarave.	Thor Grundell and his fellow Sunrise Kiwanis, served over 500 hot dogs to hungry hoedown patrons.	Otto & Associaties, along with ICBC, were out reminding people not to drink and drive. From left: ICBC's Kathleen Hicks, Otto's Henry Chan and Caroline Leclair, and ICBC's Sonia Wolowidnyk.	The local sheriffs were keeping a watchful eye of things. From left: West Van police officers Mark Braithwaite, Sheri Lucas and Sgt. Wayne Giesbrecht.	BIG Ryan McKenzie (from left), Doug Devlin and Aaron Krantz are still mourning the loss of a pub in Dundarave. Their badges read "just some more North Van troublemakers"

Two-year-old Stuart Glass (left), and five-year-old brother Callum were happy to have mom Heather along for the hoedown.	It's not the two-step anymore. Ruth Bryant (from left), her husband Mike and Gloria Olmstead were teaching everyone how to line-dance in the street.	It was a great place for families to get out and have some fun. Just ask the Coopers, namely (from left) Taylor, mom Sharon, daughter Carla, dad Hugh and little Dillon.	Balloon artist Michael Ouchi was only too happy to share his creations. Nine-year-old Emily Jones and her brother Liam came away with the goods.	Christal Connolly was busy giving pony rides to boys and girls like Renee Samels. "Champ" the pony didn't seem to mind.

Just call them the cotton candy cuties. From left: Robyn Montgomery, Kelsey Smart and Alex Sparling.	Popcorn, hot dogs, hamburgers. It was just like a fun fair according to Vic Kondrosky (from left) Donna Davies and her husband Brian.	Kids were standing in line to spend their money with Lee Gan (left) and Dolores Edwards of WV Kiwanis Club.
