Marie Zak (right) spent her Friday evening weeding a lavender bed with other Keep the Beat volunteers.
Organizers of the youth-led music festival sell bouquets of dried lavender in the days leading up to the event, so expect to see them around town in mid-July.
This year’s Keep the Beat runs July 27, and raises money for War Child Canada. Businesses interesting in pre-ordering bouquets can get in touch with the group by emailing alambhartley@live.ca.
