Carnival Time!

One of the great things about winter are the Winter Carnivals that take place across the province, from Bon Homme in Quebec, Winterlude in Ottawa, right down to the often more user-friendly versions in the small towns and villages. Huntsville has a carnival. So does the little hamlet of Port Sydney. Dorset has Snowball in February, and Dwight has it's very own DWIGHT WINTER CARNIVAL coming up on February 26 - 28th.


It all starts earlier than that, with a great spaghetti dinner hosted by Nor'Loch Lodge, Thursday February at the Dwight Community Centre 5-7p.m

Adults: $9.95
Kids 12 & under: $4.95
Family of 4: $25.00

While you're there, scoop up a Carnival Button, for $2.00. This is your admission to all the Carnival events! And what events they are!

For the little ones, there's fun and frolics at Kids Kapers, story time, pudding eating contest, a scavenger hunt...

Developing Divas can take part in the Princess Pageant.

Bigger kids (that's us adults) can try the hand at the Fishing Derby, log sawing, nail driving and singing in the snow karaoke. Or watch the chainsaw carving contest.

There's sleigh rides, and dog sled rides (thanks to Sugar Dogs Adventure Co., and your best chance to try out this winter experience that should be on EVERYONE'S bucket list)

Grab a bite of lunch at teh Chili Bar, the BBQ lunch or pick up a pie at the pie baking contest and auction.

Over at the rink, there's turkey bowling (yep, frozen turkeys. Yep, bowling... and they'll clock your toss with a radar gun!)

Down at the lake -- and you get there by horse drawn sleigh (how cool is THAT???) the Eichler Racing team is hosting Snowmobile Drags. Ever asked yourself what 0 to 100 LOOKS like? Here's your chance to find out.


There's a dance, and just so much more. If you can't have fun here, you can't have fun anywhere.

Check out their website, at www.dwightwintercarnival.com
fo complete schedules and information.

And, did we mention, this event is listed as one of Ontario's WINTERACTIVE sites, so it's good for you, officially!
