The children's winter festival is scheduled to feature many events and activities all geared towards winter outdoor fun. The festival, sponsored by the Preeceville Arena Board will be held in conjunction with the Preeceville Musher Rendezvous.
"The activities will be held over the weekend and will feature some old and new activities," said Andrea Tonn, Preeceville recreation director. "We are looking forward to the fun outdoor games that encourage children of all ages to participate in winter activities.”
The outdoor outhouse races that were a hit last year will once again be held, Tonn said. “We provide the outhouses that are mounted on sets of skis. One person is required to sit inside with two team members pushing the outhouse through an obstacle course located on the street.”
Other activities include a soap box race, crokicurl (combination of crokinole and curling), snow shoes, toboggans, winter toys, and various other outdoor-related games and crafts.
A recreation hockey game is tentatively being scheduled for the weekend.
