Corner Brook Winter Carnival kicks off this evening with a flag raising at city hall followed by the party in the park.
Marble Mountain is the spot to be today for the 62nd Annual Old Sam Day races in 22 different categories for those aged 19 to over 80. Keith Cormier of Corner Brook remembers the early days during the 1960’s when the prize was a bottle of rum between ski club presidents, and the winner would always share.
Meanwhile, Corner Brook Winter Carnival kicks off this evening with a flag raising at city hall followed by the party in the park. Cormier says Corner Brook Winter Carnival was started by the ski club in the early sixties and Old Sam Day is a big part of the tradition on the hill. Proceeds at today’s races will go towards the Marble Mountain Race team.
Crystal Alcock attended Corner Brook Winter Carnival last year and decided she wanted to be a part of it. Now, she is the chair of Youth Events. On Bayfm with Lenny Benoit, she spoke about a few new events this year, including a “Frozen Fairways” event at the Kinsmen club tomorrow, a package breakfast with Leif the Lucky on Sunday and a Snowshoe Scavenger hunt for those aged 13-18 on Tuesday at Blow Me Down ski trails.
