Over the years special friendships are formed and in my case it's usually around food. Sandra Kochan is one of those amazing people. We met while she successfully obtained the very first J license for a winery restaurant in the entire Okanagan Valley. Seems people have forgotten this major accomplishment but had it not been for her moving and shaking many of the glorious restaurants in the Valley would likely have had a whole lot harder time setting up.
Today Sandra is organizing public art for the City of Kelowna, a job that gives her a chance to stretch her creative muscles again. I took a walk with her and it's really one of the prettiest night time strolls I've ever had. Around the town, there are public spaces that are graced with some fabulous pieces.
This one is Rhapsody by Robert Dow Reid in the Waterfront Park. It's one of 38 in the core of this gracious lakeside city.
