What do you call a witch at the beach? Well, if you’re talking about the coven of paddlers in the Central Okanagan, they are certainly not called ‘sand-witches’… they call themselves the Wood Lake Water Witches.
On Sunday Oct. 15, a perfect fall day, hundreds of witches gathered at Wood Lake with their paddle boards, kayaks and brooms, to set off on their annual paddle.
People came dressed in their most ‘be-witching’ attire, and some paddle pups –and cats– even got in on the action. To learn more about the annual event visit the Wood Lake Water Witches Facebook page.
One more witch paddle event is planned to take place at Kal Beach at noon on Oct. 28.
Hundreds of witches are expected at the Coldstream event.
All are welcome and strongly encouraged to dress up. “The darker and ‘witchier’ the better for a spooky vibe on the lake,” said event organizer Ashley Reich.
The Oct. 28, paddle will be event is co-hosted by the Kalavida Surf Shop. Paddle boards are available for rent but you must book in advance.
The event is family friendly so children and pets are welcome. For more information on the Coldstream event visit the SUP WITCHES! Halloween Paddle Facebook Event.
