The 43rd Annual Port Alberni Salmon Festival and Derby goes this weekend. Always a very fun and very very busy time for me as I will be providing Live updates from Clutesi Haven Marina all throughout the weekend. Sadly it looks like I will have to miss the Bulldogs Red and White game, so accept my apologies in advance that I won't be able to provide updates from there!

Here's hoping I will see you at Salmon Fest...if you can't make it down, tune in to THE PEAK as no one covers Salmon Fest like us with Live Updates on the leading fish and the ongoing events constantly from Saturday to the end of fishing Monday.
