The 45th Annual Billy Barker Days festival is underway
QUESNEL–The 45th Annual Billy Barker Days kicked off Thursday, July 20th at Lebourdais Park.
The four day long celebration of the historical gold rush kicked off with Senior’s Day, an event that provided a lunch for seniors while they enjoyed live music.
Volunteers are a huge part of the success of the event, with some being re-occurring volunteers. ” I got a phone call yesterday from a gentleman who was like, ‘you know we are there right?’ cause they’ve been there (Billy Barker Days) now, I think at least 10 years,” sayid Selena Weiers, President of the Billy Barkers Days Society.
