Lucky Star Saloon
I have driven by this place a couple of times when visiting Campbell Valley for a walk. It’s out of the way, and unless you have a reason to go to High Point Equestrian Centre, or the High Point neighbourhood, you would never see it. After parking at the 200th Street lot for Campbell Valley Regional Park, I started walking the Perimeter trail, with the goal of walking the Shaggy Main Trail. As I approached 200th and 8 th Ave, I thought, “Why not walk by the little western town to take a few pics?”
As I approached the gate, a couple of pups came to greet me, and I noticed a man and woman sitting on the porch having a coffee. That’s when I met Sharon and Rick. Sharon engaged in conversation right away. I asked what the story was behind the property and found out that it is a passion project for this couple. Their goal is for the film or music industry to use the location. Sharon asked if I would like to come on the property and have a look around. Of course I said yes! Every piece on the property has a story. Unfortunately I don’t remember most of them!
In the saloon, they have hosted BC Back Country Horsemen meetings in the saloon, and the jail is actually a washroom.
Sharon, in her youth, played in a female pool league in the lower mainland. The name of the Lucky Star Saloon is a tribute to her dad who was well-known in the race-track industry. Rick is retired from Telus. They have build a collection of all things old-west from a number of local sources, and beyond.
They are now building a brand new theme-focused home on the property, part of which will be set up as a bank, boarding house and cafe.
Here’s a few more photos:

My host – Sharon. Such a lovely person!
