It was a beautiful winter day on Sunday, Feb. 20, as families flocked to the McNaughton Heights Toboggan Hill as the Moose Mountain Lions Club hosted their annual Family Winter Fun Day.
The fun began at noon and continued until 4 p.m. with an outdoor rink having been cleared off and flooded with their new ice resurfacer. A team of horses took families on sleigh rides, while many youth flocked to the toboggan hill to slide down the slippery slope. Despite there being very little snow, the snow that was there had been packed to be somewhat icy which made for quick rides down the hill.
The Moose Mountain Lions also had hot chocolate and hot dogs available for everyone attending.
“It's such a nice day out,” Kent Sauter, President of the Moose Mountain Lions, explained. “It's a great way for families to beat the winter blues.”
“Really it's a great way to encourage people to come out and enjoy the lake.”
Sauter said that they are looking forward to their next event, their St. Patrick's Day cabaret will be held on Saturday, March 19. For more information watch for poster in and around the Village of Kenosee.
The Moose Mountain Lions currently have plans in the works to begin this year.
“Last year we had a really successful golf tournament, and it was a good year overall,” Sauter said. “We're also always looking for new projects.”
