The B.C fires have been devastating. Mike Snedden has advised us that the Summertime Bluegrass Festival has been affected with property losses, including those incurred by our friend Denise Trudeau, President of the Summerland Bluegrass Society.
Our hearts go out to Denise who has lost literally everything to the fire. A Go Fund Me has been set up by Denise’s daughter Lisa Kettles that will greatly help Denise and her family make a new start in Summerland. Please click on the button or scan the QR code below and do what you can to help our bluegrass family in Summerland, B.C. Here is a note from the family posted on the Go Fund Me page:

Rebuilding After the Fire: Supporting Denise, Ron & the Summerland Bluegrass Society

"On August 7, 2026, our family’s farm in Faulder was tragically lost in the devastating Bald Range wildfire. My mom, Denise Trudeau, and stepdad Ron Horner lost their home, barn, and outbuildings, along with their fifth-wheel RV and cargo trailer. The horses have also been displaced by this tragic fire.""
