Kapuskasing Winterfest has families in mind with a large list of activities planned for March 18-20 at the Centre de Loisirs. Executive Director Denik Dorval says one of the highlights is a soap box derby where you can build a sled and try it in front judges to win various prizes.
“Anything from a car, you can have a funny costume also,” he said. “You have to design your sled to a theme and we also have $500 to be won and this is going to be happening on Saturday, Mar. 19 again at our hill in our parking lot.”
There will also be several food vendors and children can come out and slide on the big hill. Families can also participate in a snow sculpture contest. Dorval says it’s a great event to get friends and family together and take advantage of all the snow.
“You just have to design a sculpture in your front or backyard for example, and then you just have to send us a picture of your sculpture with family members or anyone who helped,” he said.
