George & Charlotte Gibson Day 2010

Last Saturday we celebrated the 124th anniversary of the Gibson family's arrival in Howe Sound, and it was a whopping success! Thanks to Super-Valu for the outstanding cake.


We had a great turnout - over eighty people, many of them, no doubt, attracted by the chance to meet George and Charlotte themselves.


The crowd was a mixture of longtime locals and newer arrivals. There were even a few descendants of George and Charlotte (the real ones) in attendance.


Curatorial Assistant Matt Cavers presented a slide show on the history of Gibsons. That's him pointing out the old flume at the mouth of Langdale Creek.


A good time was had by all! See you next year for the 125th anniversary!
