Shortly after moving to Penticton, BC from Vancouver, I received an email from the ENews website, Penticton Now, to see if I was interested in being featured in their In Focus section of News.  I wondered how they found me but realized I had posted a few photos of our new town on Instagram using some hashtags about Penticton and the Okanagan and realized that must have been it.  With all the positives...
