Vita Winter Festival is all set to go this weekend and it starts with a really cool event.

Shirley Wiebe was in studio and talked about the kick off tonight. "There's an opportunity to meet all the mushers. Come to the curling club for a meet and greet with all of them. There's some coming all the way from Quebec."

The festival also runs on Saturday and Shirley gives details on what your family will experience. "It all starts with a pancake breakfast at 10:00 am, it's $5.00 at the Vita Fire Hall. There's three locations for canteens, craft and vendor sale at the school, multi-cultural music, magician, horse drawn sleigh rides, youth hockey tournament, you name it we got it."

Wrapping up the weekend on Sunday, there's even more. "It continues with awards for dog sled racers. There's prize money."

It's a terrific weekend for the whole family. For more, check out the events calendar: https://steinbachonline.com/events
