A Lumby man returned to Vernon鈥檚 Polson Park to celebrate 4-20 the friendly way.
Last April 20, Dan Hill set himself up at the Polson Park fountain with about 70 marijuana joints to give away to anyone of age as 鈥淐OVID-19 stress relief.鈥�
This year he came prepared with goodies for all ages; while only offering cannabis to folks old enough to buy themselves, he had cupcakes for the younger ones.
鈥淎nd if someone looks too young, under 19, I ask them for their ID,鈥� he said.
I鈥檝e gotten a lot of 鈥楪od bless yous鈥� from people,鈥� he laughed.
Hill says he鈥檚 been taking part in 4-20 鈥� an unofficial celebration of cannabis that takes place every April 20 鈥� 鈥渟ince 1974.鈥�
This year he鈥檚 changed his signage: along with the invitation to a free joint or a cannabis-free cupcake, he shared the name of his YouTube channel, 鈥淐hurch of Hakad.鈥�
鈥淚 just talk about people who鈥檝e done good things for other people,鈥� he said of the channel. 鈥淚 just like to inform people about things they might not know.鈥�
With arms folded, shades on and donning a cowboy hat, Hill said some people don鈥檛 find him approachable, but those who do strike up a conversation with him usually say he鈥檚 鈥渘ot that bad of a guy.鈥�
鈥淚鈥檝e been married to the same woman 35 years, I raised my granddaughter (and) I鈥檇 be the first person to help you if you鈥檙e in difficulties.鈥�
