Kicking off the 26th Annual Sauble Beach Winterfest, the Sauble Sno-Riders will do their traditional torchlight parade up from the lakeshore to the Community Centre, followed by our traditional Christmas-tree bonfire -- if you have a tree (natural of course) bring it early to ignite the blaze or bring it late to keep the toes warm; as always, I expect there will be hot-chocolate nearby.

And if you can't stand the heat, you can join the fire inside at the community centre for the annual Battle of the Bands or just drop in a the hospitality centre and mingle with the pre-groundhogday social crowd (chances are, Willie may sneak out of his burrow for a cuppa cocoa ...)

For more information, times, schedules, rules, sign-ups, prizes, contacts and all that organizational jazz, drop in on the Sauble Beach Chamber of Commerce Winterfest Schedule page; me, I just dress warm, strap the tree to the top of the van, go there and wing it.

Our 26th Annual Sauble Beach Winterfest!! 10am (or maybe earlier) until, well, later. much later.
