There were happy faces at the
Castlegar Rail Station Museum
over the weekend. :

Some 200 people showed their
support of the Castlegar and Dis-
trict Heritage Society Saturday
for the annual fall windup. —

Heritage society supervisor
Deb McIntosh said the turnout
couldn’t have been better.

“It was terrific,” McIntosh said.
“It was a huge success. About 170
people signed in but there was
many more.

“We raised somewhere in the
ballpark of $200, (but) there was
no goal set. Our basic goal was to
have people come down and find

One of the highlights was hon-

with lifetime memberships.

“They've been supporters of the
society for years,” McIntosh said.
“They just give and give and give.”

As a sign of the society’s grati- Pi

couple with a carved wooden Rus-

Eatery combines good food; good value

With a menu boasting a wide
variety of foods at some truly
appetizing prices, The Eatery is
quickly becoming one of the
West Kootenay’s favorite
restaurants.
Owners Mel and Richard
Smeland launched the venture
last October, determined to
offer the kind of value that
would bring diners back for
frequent visits. Their menu
includes 35 entrees, including
all the traditional stand-bys plus
an assortment of Mexican
offerings and even a vegetarian
meal — all for the. same price:
$9.95. Add the garlic toast,
salad and trimmings which
accompany every meal, and
you've got yourself one
heckuva bargain.
The low price makes your
eating experience economical,
but the obvious care that goes
into preparing the food is what
makes a visit truly rewarding.
Prawns Cajun, for example,
live up to their promise of
spicey flavor: they're
accompanied by fresh
vegetables cooked to
perfection.

The Restaurant
of the Week

If you have a taste for really hot
foods, don't miss the Caesar
salad with hot and spicey
chicken strips. They're part of a
list of half a dozen salads, a
couple of soups and some 40
appetizers ranging in price from
$2.95 to $6.95.

Those with a sweet tooth will
be pleased to know that the

special. The Eatery’s
marguerita, the Monday night
special, is favored among
tequila drinkers as the best in
the region.
The Eatery successfully
attempts something that others
have tried and failed: it's a
place where your children will
feel comfortable, and yet it also
offers an opportunity for an
adult evening with
sophisticated decor and
reliable service. Cedar walls,
red swag lamps and a brick
fireplace provide a warm and
welcoming atmosphere.
The restaurant, which is
located halfway up the hill from
Trail to Warfield, is large
enough to accommodate large
crowds, but it is divided up into
cosier rooms that are suitable
for smaller groups. Banquet
facilities for gatherings of up to
120 are also available,
although they're often booked
up well in advance. If you're
contemplating an event during
the busy pre-Christmas
season, you'd be well advised
to make your arrangements
immediately.
