Snowmobile freestyle show and snow maze new for this year's Winterfest

Dates have been set for Thompson’s annual winter tradition. This year’s Winterfest will be during the weekend of February 26th.

 

Councillor Dennis Foley says they opted to keep it just a weekend long like last year, as opposed to a month long festival like in year’s before.

 

He says they have a couple events up their sleeves, including a snowmobile freestyle show:

"We’ve invited multiple riders from all over Manitoba and Saskatchewan. We’ve got a gentleman by the name of Josh Penner who has been travelling all over North America. He’s actually on the invite for the X Games this year, so any trick he can do upright he can also do while doing a backflip so that’s gonna be real exciting, and we’ve got 4 other people including one local resident that’s gonna be participating in that".

 

Foley says another new event for this year is an outdoor maze for kids and adults built out of snow.
