The event is being held in remembrance of Clara Forman and her two young daughters who were found dead in their home.
Father and husband Jacob Forman, 34, is charged with second-degree murder.
Vicky Belteton didn’t know Clara Forman but she and her friends do not want the community to forget Clara, Karina and Yesenia.

More than 100 people are expected at the event 5:30 p.m., Dec. 28 at Kelowna’s Stuart Park near the Christmas tree.
RCMP have not released any new information about the killings including how Clara and her two daughters died.
