The Creston Valley Fall Fair acknowledges with respect and gratitude that our event is held in the unceded traditional territories of the Sinixt (Lakes), the Ktunaxa and the Secwepemc (Shuswap) peoples. We recognize the enduring presence of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people and we are grateful for the opportunity to live, learn, grow and work on these beautiful lands.

The Advance
By the Wild-haired Corn
By Mary Oliver
I don’t know
if the sunflowers
are angels always
but surely sometimes.
Who, even in heaven
wouldn’t want to wear,
for awhile,
such a seed-face
and brave spine,
a coat of leaves
with so many pockets –
and who wouldn’t want
to stand for a summer day,
in the hot fields,
in the only country
of the wild-haired corn?
This much I know
when I see the bright
stars of their faces,
when I’m strolling nearby,
I grow soft in my speech,
and soft in my thoughts,
and I remember how everything will be
everything else,
by and by.
