Quesnel Winter Carnival is more than fun!

Courtesy of the City of Quesnel:

There is just a little more than a week to go until the fourth annual Winter Carnival at the West Fraser Timber Park on Saturday Feb. 4 starting at 1 p.m.

And what better way to take part than to participate in the Adult Winter Fun Challenge. This very casual challenge involves people completing three winter activities. Be it cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, tobogganing, skating, women's and men's hockey, and more, we'll have equipment for you to use. And new this year is Frisbee golf.

The reward for trying out all these activities? You could win a signed, framed Phil Esposito Team Canada photo from the 1972 Summit Series, donated by Odds and Glenn's Collectibles. Some of the other prizes up for grabs include a $50 gift certificate from Rocky Peak Adventure Gear, and passes for the Arts and Recreation Centre and Troll Ski Resort.

The Winter Carnival includes a wide variety of winter activities, crafts, music and snacks, not to mention the Crazy Toque contest. With the ice surface being lit up this year, there will be skating on the pond right up until the day concludes with entertainment from the Correlieu Choir and fireworks at 5:30 p.m.

To help everyone join the fun that day, Quesnel Transit buses will stop outside West Fraser Timber Park. For more information, call 250-992-8200, visit www.quesnel.ca, or check out the Quesnel Winter Carnival page on facebook at www.facebook.com/activeliving.quesnel
