We’re Having a Winter Festival Submitted by Debbie Seymour Chamber Executive Director The fun-filled North Shuswap Winter Festival on Family Day Weekend, February 16 and 17 is just two weeks away. Across the North Shuswap, we will see bed races, curling, chili cook off, snow pitch, snow sculpting, skating, story telling, face painting, dancing and other entertaining activities for all ages. Many individuals, organizations and businesses have joined with the North Shuswap Chamber to put the festival together. Each has taken on an event. We are so thankful for all the support from the community and looking forward to the weekend! This amazing group has organized 13 events being held throughout the North Shuswap beginning with the Quaaout Lodge and their Cultural Event-C7istkten Story Telling with Bannock on Stick followed by Archery, all along the North Shuswap to the Lakeview Community Centre where the centre’s volunteers are being joined by the team at St. Ives Resort to host an all ages Games Day. Along the way, we are sure there will be an event that will spark your interest and participation. Most activities are all ages with the intent of providing inex-
pensive fun and festivities for our families and community. There will be opportunities to satisfy your hunger as well. The North Shuswap Lions will have their food trailer at Rose Clifford Park during the Snow Pitch Tournament, drop by the Hub for the Chili Cook Off, there will be a concession open during the Family Dance at the North Shuswap Community Association, the Celista Fire Department will have the fire on with hot dogs and hot chocolate available, Celista Estate Winery is serving up hot dogs and hot chocolate and the Anglemont Fire Department Association, joined by St. Ives Resort will be barbequing burgers and hot dogs at the Lakeview Community Centre. Free registration for the team events is ongoing. The contact information for organizers is listed in the Winter Festival Schedule on page 11 of this issue of the Kicker. If you have any questions, we encourage you to get in touch with them. In the meantime, we are hoping for snow and cooler temperatures! Please note: Squilax-Anglemont traffic in Scotch Creek will be detoured via Imai Rd and Butters Rd. on Feb. 17 from 9 am to 1 pm for the bed races.
