Elkwater Winter Festival is full of fun for the whole family
By Medicine Hat News on February 3, 2018.
Medicine Hat News Today’s Elkwater Winter Festival promises fun for the whole family. The fourth annual event runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and, best of all, everything is free. Some of the events include shoeshoeing, horse-driven sleigh rides, a chain saw demonstration, coss-country ski lessons, loop skating, a snowman-building contest, cookie decorating, a snow graffiti wall, snow golf and face painting. A craft market will also be on site, with a variety of vendors displaying and selling their wares. Participants won’t go hungry, either. There will be popcorn, juice, hot chocolate, hot dogs and marshmellows roasted over a bonfire. The Learning Centre at Elkwater will be primary headquarters for the festival, but other venues include the Elkwater Community Hall, the Elkwater Lake Lodge and the 12-34 Cafe. Further information is available from Connie Matson, 403-504-3202. 9-8
