Maple Leaf Spirits Inc. is a new addition to the wine tour experience in the Okanagan Valley, BC. In our tasting room we offer our award winning spirits and liqueurs. We make our products here in Penticton in our craft distillery from locally grown fruit, grapes and wine. Our products are a celebration of aromas from our region known for the quality of its fruit. They include clear spirits made from South Okanagan cherries, pears, apricots, peaches and Italian prunes, with smooth clean flavor.

Mutt Strutters meet in Summerland and submit their pledges for themselves and their dog. Sometimes, they can even borrow a dog to walk with. The Mutt Strut is a very popular part of the Action Festival Parade and pledgers reaching more than $25 will receive a Critteraid T-shirt and a bandana for their dog. The dogs love dressing up and hearing the cheers as they walk along the parade route!

Fantastic prizes for:
- most pledges
- best costume
- the largest
- the smallest
...and more!
