We were returning home, when I spotted Kootenay Vac and Golf. I could not believe my eyes. “What did that sign say?" I asked.
We turned around and stopped to have another look, and sure enough - "Vac & Golf" is what it said. I just had to go in and have a look for myself. (Thinking, if this is for real… Waymarking)
I was not disappointed. Not only is it a golf and vacuum cleaner store, the owner is a true gem. He was exceedingly friendly and has a great sense of humor (he's the self-proclaimed president of the Castlegar Branch of the "Male Chauvinist Pigs" Club).
He has been a golfer for over 40 years, and accidentally got into selling and repairing clubs. He ordered a kit to re-grip clubs, and included was a manual on repair. The rest is history. That was twenty years ago.
There is a full line of vacuum cleaners and accessories. He also does repairs on all brands of vacuums.
Kootenay Vac and Golf is well worth visiting, if nothing else, to be entertained by the owner.
