OCT 22nd LAUNCH OF PG FireFighters Calendar.Get Yours First




FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM pgfirecharitable for behind the scenes videos to watch videos.
Since the early spring some of the Prince George Firefighters have been preparing themselves for the 2017 Calendar featuring them in the traditional style of Firefighters around the world to raise funds.
We photographed them in various places around Prince George and area so lots of  fun which resulted in great images.

The Fund raising is for the Burn Unit that was built this past spring in Vancouver for all residents of British Columbia in need. Prince George Firefighters pledged $100,000 to be raised and have been doing various fundraising activities to see that promised fulfilled. So we want to see us run out of them!

The Launch and Release of the Calendars will be Saturday Oct 22 at the Prince George Golf and Curling Club Restaurant called Fore Bistro at 6:30pm till 9pm. There is a DJ and a cash bar. So grab some friends and come down and support these guys. They heard you  and have made a calendar that YOU want to see and own. Buy a couple extra for Christmas gifts too!

Ridge Side Art now at 127 3rd Ave

Oh my I am finally able to let you all know about this wonderful "expansion" of our Art Centro here at 1127 3rd Ave . Her Grand Opening was Sept 24th ( sorry I was not able to let you know sooner - I just returned from holidays ).


Christina Watts is the artist and owner of Ridge Side Art who fills a need she saw in the community for a art supply for budding and established artists. She already had an online business under the same name and represents various Northern Artists  http://www.ridgesideart.com/
But she wanted to take it to the next step and have a storefront. She offers a variety of local artists pieces there as well as paper and supplies. Take a wonder down to see for yourself.
Hours of business are Tuesday to Friday 11-2pm Sat Noon-4pm . There are art demos as well as classes in various art forms so get on her Email List to learn about those. Email submission is on her front page of her Website at the address above.

I am still photographing for sure but you won't find me down there unless we have an appointment just so you know.  If you follow me on INSTAGRAM ( Philomena_Hughes) I've been away all summer.
But I have also been working on a few other projects.The Firemen New Calendar for one which launches Oct 22.  You will see more about it but it will be at the PG GOLF CLUB Pub called Fore Bistro & Patio.

Here is their fb page : prince george fire charitable or follow them on Instagram and watch the behind the scenes I created .

My current project is for the Prince George Community Arts which I am the Vice President of.
We are launching a "InvestLocalBC" fundraising campaign..rather like a GoFundMe but this is a Northern BC Group we are working with. I will link it here when it launches.

Christmas is coming so If you haven't had the chance to have your family portrait updated or you need a gift certificate for Christmas let me know and we will create one for you .

Happy Thanksgiving All.
