We are pleased to announce that the Winter Carnival is ready to go on Saturday, Feb. 1 from 1 to 5:30 p.m. with lots of fun and activities for everyone! Our community event is hosted by the City of Quesnel and the Cariboo Regional District and many local sponsors. We would like to thank Save-on-Foods, Fortis BC, Spectra Energy, Integris Credit Union, and the Quesnel and District Arts Council for their support. A special thank you to the City’s Public Works Department, the Fire Department and their volunteers for the numerous hours spent on preparing the West Fraser Timber Park.
There will be more family fun, more prizes and more fireworks. Lots of opportunities to try cross country skiing, snow shoeing, sledding, pond skating, and, new this year is geo caching! You are invited to bring your own equipment or are welcome to borrow ours. The crazy toque contest is back by popular demand and we will supply the toque. There will be free hot chocolate, coffee, root beer, bannock, cookies and more. Visit with some of our local mascots, Billy Barker, the Root Beer Bear, the RCMP Safety Bear or the Carnival Jester. Be sure to bring your camera. Pick up your free tickets at the gate from the Scotiabank folks when you come into the park and drop your tickets off in any one of the eight prize draw barrels around the carnival site. The day ends with a fireworks display you don't want to miss.
Bundle up, dress warm, bring your travel mug and we'll see you on Saturday, Feb. 1 at the West Fraser Timber Park for our annual Winter Carnival. This is how Quesnel celebrates winter; in true Canadian style!
