62 persons participated in the hiking and counting of the sheep.  The participants came from the communities and areas of Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna, West Kelowna, Westbank, Summerland, Penticton, Okanagan Falls, Oliver, Abbotsford and Nelson.  The group consisted of men, women and a young girl of approximately 9 years of age who showed a lot of the participants what energy looked like.

The count consisted of 88 Sheep (38 Rams, 42 Ewes, 8 Lambs) and 85 Deer (70 Mule Does, 3 Whitetail Does, 12 Mule Fawns).

The weather was overcast with a low ceiling and misty.  The counters were hampered by the weather and visibility was restricted.
