The flood put the A&W out of business for quite a while.  Thankfully, they are back in business now.  In the days after the flood the A&W folks were among the strongest supporters of PeaceFest.  It bought a lot of smiles to the faces of Peace River hamburger lovers to see them open, in a tent on the main street, at the We're Back '97 celebration. To assist others when your own lot is not looking so good is a credit to these terrific people.
