Joseph and Erickson said the only major obstacle they had was the weather, as the outdoor events were subject to bitter-cold temperatures, which kept many spectators away. Regardless, the King and Queen Trapper Events, the Fireworks and the Dog Sled Races went on as scheduled.

“We’ve gotten positive feedback about having them both in the same location, close to each other,” said Erickson, referring to the location for the outdoor events west of the Canadian Tire. “That’s something we’re going to try and maintain going forward.”

Indoor events this year included the Country Show, Rock Show, Gospel Show, Voices of The North, the Trade Show and the arm wrestling competition held at the Alfred Jenkins Field House.

Now that the 59^th Winter Festival has wrapped up, attention turns to next year and the 60th-anniversary celebration.

“We already have some ideas of things to do,” said Erickson. “Of course, everything is dependent on volunteers. Lots of great ideas, it’s just a matter of whether we get the manpower to do it.”

“(The) 60^th is an anniversary year so we’ll have to think about planning something big,” Joseph added.

Joseph added the board will meet in the coming weeks to start preparations for next year’s festival.
