    Remember the old days when peachland cable recorded all the community events and you could watch them from home? Ok, the quality was not always up to what us now spoiled people with digital quality and yes it was sometimes shaky, but still… brings back memories. :)

      Just goes to show the difference between a local small business and the big boys, locals go the extra mile if its for their community. If certainly not the case anymore with the big city attitudes polluting our town.
      I realize change is inevitable but how far do we really need to go before we’ve gone to far?

        I believe the answer to your question is: you know for sure once it’s too late.

    I know a lot of people who would like to be there tonight but can’t (I for one am in Seattle). Is this going to be recorded for playback? This is a very important event and I think that, even for those who do attend, having a recording for things like “What did he/she say again?” would be very helpful in deciding how to cast a vote.

      Too bad we didn’t think of this sooner. If someone out there can videotape it and get me a digital copy, I’d be more than happy to host it for anyone to see.
