Family Day in Frontenac

Feb 12, 2020

Family Day at the Frontenac Community Arena grounds has become the largest gathering of people from across South Frontenac each year. Unlike Canada Day, which is a local community celebration.

“One of the things I love most about Family Day is that it is a township wide event,” said Amanda Pantrey, one of the organisers of this year’s celebration of the winter season.

This year’s event features all of the activities that have made Family Day popular, including horse drawn wagon rides, a winter obstacle course, Scandinavian kick sledding, snowshoe races, free skating in the arena, games, a free BBQ courtesy of the township, and free milk courtesy of the Frontenac Dairy Producers.

As an added bonus this year, many local businesses have donated items for a prize basket that will be raffled off at the end of the day. There is no charge to enter the raffle, entrants just need to sign in to get a ticket.

And at 3pm, the South Frontenac Stocksport club will be doing an Ice-stock demonstration in the arena. It will be both a demonstration and an opportunity to try out the sport (bring ice grippers if you can).

It all kicks off at 11am on Monday, the 17th. Come early or be prepared to park along the road as the parking lot fills up early.

The Frontenac Arena is located in Piccadilly, at 4299 Arena Boundary Road, halfway between Verona and Godfrey.
