Chantelle Dueck stopped by this morning to talk about the Winter Festival in New Bothwell this weekend,  February 7 & 8, 2020 at the New Bothwell Rec Centre .

The festival kicks off on Friday from 6:00pm - 9:00 p.m. with a cribbage tournament, family skate and movie along with a canteen. Saturday starts at 8:30 a.m. with a pancake breakfast to end all pancake breakfasts!  So many pancakes, meat and fruit!  The day continues until 7:00 p.m and is full with a hockey tournament, kids activities indoors and outdoors, a GREAT silent auction and ice scrambles for all ages.

What are ice scrambles? Basically you race or scramble for whatever is thrown onto the ice! So for the kids...candy of course!  Youth...get to scramble for coins...which may or may not actually freeze to the ice! Get ready to scratch as you scramble! And the adults?  Ya...they scramble for....groceries!  Yes...cans of beans, pasta...groceries on the ice!  New Bothwell is the place to be this weekend.
