North Frontenac Winterfest

Rhonda Watkins | Mar 01, 2023

Plevna was the place to be Sat, Feb 25th! The Township of North Frontenacs 2023 Winterfest was so much fun!! Neighbours throughout the Community gathered to celebrate and it was delightful! Some extra parking was moved over to the library to make room for all of the amazing festivities! When you first walked up the parking lot at the hall, to the left you could enjoy chatting with the firefighters and watching some demonstrations and to the right was Rural Frontenac Community Services with so many fun activities for the kids. There was great music and a fun skating party in the ice rink and gratefully, two warming stations were set up by Ross Ranch and Lonnie Watkins Tree Service with marshmallows to roast because it was a chilly day! If you are wondering about Lonnie’s benches, yes they are for sale. If you are interested, please contact us!

The disc golf brought by Hunters Creek was so much fun!! You really need to visit them and give it a try!!

Congratulations to Mark and Hudson Lemke for winning first prize in the ice sculpture contest!! Heading up to the hall building was Kick and Push with their fabulous beers to enjoy! I think my favourite was the bird dog, but I am planning a trip out to their brewery in Sharbot Lake real soon to try the others!

Tammy Watson, The Canadian Handy Woman’s Tool Rodeo was outside the front doors and everyone looked like they were having a blast!! Reid Tooley won a hammer drill donated by Lookout Home Hardware and a flashlight donated by the Township with the fastest time of 3.02 seconds! Wow!! Other winners drawn from participants were Andy, who won a toolbox kit donated by Hooks Castle Hardware, and Leaun received a Township water bottle. Kathleen Gaskin won the thermal mug set donated by Lookout Home Hardware! Randy the Magician filled the hall inside and put on an amazing show for the audience of young and old!!

Clarendon school hosted a delicious luncheon and there were balloon animals by Daniel for kids to enjoy! The Lions Club was giving out activity books and The Red Barn Zone was kindly giving out tea and coffee in the hall!!

Congratulations to Heather White, who won the awesome gift basket from Lemke Carpentry with a guess of 900 skittles in the skittle jar. There were actually 910!

28 people came out to play Euchre. Congratulations to Red Emond, the high score winner with a score of 79!!

Needless to say it was a fun-filled day and our Community is looking forward to next year’s Winterfest!! Thank you, Township of North Frontenac!!
