Victoria Day at the White Rock Beach Gallery – May 18, 2015

LONG-WEEKENDIt was a super busy day at The White Rock Beach Gallery featuring the work of ARTographer Ric Wallace.
mr-ric[1]We set a record for sales in one day at the beach on Monday, May 18, 2015. We are planning for a successful summer promoting our postcards, greeting cards, magnets, and photographs. We also set a record for charge card sales using our SQUARE device.

Virtual Edge Communications & the White Rock Beach Gallery invites you to try Square  width= Easy-to-use tools for every little thing. From mobile point-of-sale tools and online invoicing to next-day deposits and inventory management, Square has everything you need to run your business anywhere. Virtual Edge Communications uses this COOL device to process charge card & debit payments as well as document cash sales. We can use this on our iPad, Mini iPad or iPod (we do not have an iPhone). If you sell products or services, you can boost your sales by offering to accept charge cards. We use the Square device to accept sales at The White Rock Beach Gallery - Waterfront Promenade Gallery. Want to see how simple this Square is to use? Come to White Rock Beach and if we are set up, buy some postcards, greeting cards, magnets or canvas prints and we will show you how simple it is to use and email you a receipt, saving the trees for the squirrels or postcards.

White Rock BC Photo Restoration  Ric Wallace can bring FADED or partially lost PHOTOS back to LIFE
Old, torn and sometimes photos in two or more pieces can be restored to their original state or better. Ric Wallace does a high resolution scan from your original image and electronically uses a computer to do the retouching and corrections. High quality photographic prints can be obtained from the computer file. The computer file can be supplied on CD/ DVD, USB, or downloaded from the internet to ensure exact copies can be made for years to come, with no loss in quality like prints made from negatives which will degrade over time.

2015-05m-18d-02This visitor to the White Rock Beach Gallery was all smiles as it was about 20C and his neighbours in Winnipeg (AKA WINTERPEG ) had -6C  temperatures with the wind chill when we took his photo. Even though he will be returning to Winterpeg in the near future, he has some COOL stuff to show friends he picked up at White Rock Beach, BC.

Christine who works at the tourist booth at the west beach has a FRIENDLY MILLION DOLLAR SMILE that helps greet visitors looking for things to see, things to do, places to shop, dine and visit. People like Christine help visitors find their way in to the shops and restaurants, boosting the local economy. The tourist booth even has one of our postcards we give away for FREE. Even if you are a long time resident, stop by the beach or downtown location and see what they have.

Our postcards are travelling the globe showing White Rock Beach is a FUN cool place to visit or move to.2015-05m-18d-07This mother and her children were drawn under our tent because of a picture of some trees. People in BC love trees and photos of trees and even do not mind posing with a couple of White Rock Beach squirrels wearing funny hats.
