Mark Thompkins of Buzz Virtual Spaces has a cool, new product that everyone can use to enhance the way they do business.

Buzz Virtual Spaces is not your traditional virtual tour because they are using a new form of immersive 3D media that invites you to explore a place as if you were really there.

It can be used for residential, business, showrooms, travel and hospitality or for your insurance documentation.

Be everywhere, from anywhere.

Check out their website and try one of their demos.
Owners Dave and Jennifer Upshaw of Canoe Coffee have set up their coffee trailer in front of the roaster on high road.

This is a great location for all you bikers coming down Clement because it’s right there.

They will be open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

WiFi comes today so grab yourself a unique cup of coffee and get some work done.
If you don’t commute down Clement and want a good local coffee, you need to stop at the new 350 Bakehouse and Cafe because Ed Wouda and Lindsay LaPointe are serving Lone Tree Coffee from Summerland.

The bakehouse and cafe are offering all kinds of bakery treats, but all made the way they should be (aka the old school way).

Feel free to phone in your order anytime too for quick pick up. 236-420-0350.
Chocoholic Frolic Hop for Hope Fundraiser tickets are now on sale.

This 5K hop, run, walk, bike event will be taking place at Mission Creek Regional Park on Sunday, April 9 at 10 a.m.

This event is supporting the Central Okanagan Elizabeth Fry Society.

If you collect pledges you have a good chance of winning some amazing prizes too.
Tomorrow is the April 1, which means the Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Campaign begins.

They are doing it a little different this year by encouraging businesses to canvass their workplace.

The Canadian Cancer Society will supply you with a tool kit and provide lots of support if you want to get creative or you can just place the donation box at the front desk.

Just visit www.cancer-canvasser.ca for more information or call 250-762-6381.
Join Kelowna’s breweries and Joe Wiebe (The Thirsty Writer) for a night of all things B.C. beer.

BNA Brewing Co., Kettle River Brewing Co., Tree Brewing, and Boundary Brewing Company will each prepare a unique cask with a common ingredient.

$15 gets you a full glass of each cask, plus a take-home souvenir glass (while quantities last).
Heads up, the B.C. Interior Sportsman Show is coming to town next weekend.

This is an event you don’t want to miss.  Find out the latest and greatest in hunting, fishing, and outdoors.

Again this year, it is being held at the Capital News Centre. Visit their website for a list of vendors and speakers.
Don’t forget the Kelowna Crafters Outdoor Market opens tomorrow too. No Joke.

Make it a great week!
