Chicks With Chainsaws!

We had a great time at the Downie Sawmill in Revelstoke, BC last weekend on our Chicks With Chainsaws photoshoot! Anna from the Forestry Museum came up with the idea to make a calendar of "Chicks" who are actively working in the forestry industry as a fundraiser for the museum. Great idea! We were fortunate to get selected for the challenging Sawmill shoot with two lovely ladies who were very keen and fantastic Calendar Girls. These great ladies have been working at the mill for many years...and we photographed them in the exact environment they worked in! (Although we may have taken a few liberties with the chainsaws...).
Enjoy a few samples here...Thanks ladies!!!

A great day at the races in Millarville!

Decided to spend Canada Day out in Millarville this year...had a great time! Met so many friendly people and really enjoyed the races and the market (and the beer garden...!)

Ended up being a photo finish!!

The Smithbilt shopping experience! Just in time for Stampede!

I have to say, the buying experience at Smithbilt Hats is one of the best reasons to go! I bought my first Smithbilt last year before the Calgary Stampede, and this year when a friend of mine was in need of a hat, I of course took her there! The custom-fitting and great service are fantastic! Here are a few pics of our adventure.

Hats patiently awaiting their turn:

Hat being shaped and sized: this is the same hat-maker who sized up Kate Middleton's hat when she was in Calgary!

Other hats being thoughtfully put together:

Ana and the final product!

A great trip! And we were in and out in less than 20 minutes!
