2016 Winterfest kicks off today

 

The wait is over, as today marks the official start of Winterfest 2016.

 

It will be a jam-packed weekend with events for all ages happening today through Sunday, including a bonfire lighting and open skate tonight, as well as an event city counselor Dennis Foley is particularly looking forward to on Saturday, freestyle motocross.

 

“It’s really exciting, we have X Games athlete Josh Penner coming up to perform. He’ll be doing backflips, all kinds of tricks. And with him, we’ve also got five other athletes coming; some that have been here before on a previous show and some that haven’t.”

 

A full list of events and timings can be found at the City of Thompson website.
