- Village Front Entrance
This log post and beam structure was crafted with Western Red Cedar and built by Pioneer Log Homes of BC. Pioneer’s master carver selected, hand peeled, scribed and notched each piece to complete the log structure. A local carver from Hope, BC was hired to carve the “Sasquatch” and on June 8, 2013, the entire structure was shipped to the Village and reassembled . On March 9, 2014, HGTV featured an episode on “Timberkings” showcasing the Village of Harrison Hot Springs’ front entrance sign structure.
