Good morning, Penticton. It's not time to put away the golf clubs just yet as we continue to have unseasonably warm weather. According to Environment Canada we are expected to see a high of 14C today.

It was a busy weekend in Penticton with the Christmas Craft Fair at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, the Penticton Vees playing at the South Okanagan Events Centre on Saturday and a minor hockey tournament also going on all weekend.

Speaking of the Vees, they improved their record to 17-3-0-0 with wins over Salmon Arm on Friday and Prince George on Saturday. Read more: Vees hang on to beat the Spruce Kings.
