January 15th, 2022- Week Four of our Okanagan Reconnect (OK Falls)
hello
Week Four of our Okanagan Reconnect (OK Falls)
Presented by The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association
The SHOW
Because…
Tasting Room Radio started its audio life in a studio in a barn on the Naramata Bench and…
Hadn’t been back to the Okanagan since Fall 2019 and
the pandemic kept us from returning, it was time to Reconnect to the Okanagan.
(The Vista in OK Falls)
