Rides, tobogganing, a Kids’ Zone, music from Moose FM, cozy igloos and more. It’s important to remember that these events only happen because of the hard work and dedication of volunteers. There are many positions available, and something is bound to catch your eye. If you’d like to help bring this amazing event to life for the community, please reach out to wintercarnivalkemptville@ gmail.com. A huge shout-out is also due to Herb and Debora Cloutier, whose behind-the-scenes efforts contribute so much to our community. Without them, there would be far less magic – and musical joy – in North Grenville. Events like this are where beautiful memories are made, friendships are forged, and a sense of community is built. It’s a chance to escape the “unprecedented events” of the world and just feel pure joy. So, throw on your snowpants and gloves, and come out to enjoy this fantastic carnival.
