Adrianne Bailie
"I grew up in a little town in northern BC and my family always came to Vernon on vacation.  My husband and I both grew up loving Kal Lake and we can't believe we get to live here!  We've got three girls and when I'm not busy being a mom, I love  to work doing interior design, wakesurf or snowboard depending on the season and dream of one day travelling again!"
