Tomorrow marks 50 years since the Trail Daily Times highlighted the Columbia Valley Winter Festival, a fleeting regional event, with a photo taken from a home on Riverside Avenue.

While those homes have long since been demolished, a “now” photo captured early Tuesday morning from the same (or nearby) location reveals striking changes — not just in the landscape, but also in the stark absence of snow.

Full story about the winter festival on Page 14 of  today's (Jan. 23) Trail Times.

On newsstands now.

Copies are $1.20 each (save a nickel) until the GST holiday ends next month.

Happy Thursday!
