The photo galleries provide a photographic record of the Ashcroft and Cache Creek

	Snow in Millennium Park - January 2004 Snow brings a whole new and magical look to the Millennium Park
	Winter In Ashcroft - January 2004 The end of January saw one of the largest snowfalls we have had in recent years, turning Ashcroft into a winter wonderland.
	The Venables Valley Fire - August/September 2003 The fire started in the evening of August 15th, 2003 and over the next month spread to an area of 7635 hectares. The residents of Venables Valley & Upper Hat Creek Road were evacuated for several days. Debris from the fire fell in Ashcroft. At one point the fire jumped the Thompson river at the Basque.
	A Trip to the top of Cornwall Hills - July 2003 Known locally as Cornwall Mountain, this is the highest point in the Ashcroft Area at 6680 feet and the site of an old Forestry fire lookout. Little did we know at the time that much of the beauty shown in these photo's would be destroyed a couple of weeks later by the Venables Valley Fire.
	Filming the movie 'An Unfinished Life' - June 2003 Ashcroft was taken over by a movie crew during June 2003, to film the latest Lasse Hallström movie. Much of the action was centered around Dina's Restaurant and the old Central Cafe. The movie is due to be released in December 2004.
	The 2003 Ashcroft Rodeo Parade This years parade was held on Saturday, June 14th 2003
