Description: The main attraction is, of course, the dog sled racing. If you’ve never heard the dogs howl at the start line, well, it is truly an experience.
A metis village will be set-up in the park, complete with story tellers and displays of artifacts. There will also be entertainers performing on the indoor and outdoor stages. Crowd favourites like the toilet seat toss, kick sledding, snow shoeing, fruit sling, big foot races and dog sled rides will remain as popular activities for the younger set. We also have the indoor Kids' Zone where families can warm up and enjoy activities such as the Crayola Activity Center, balloon twisting and some of the exotic animals brought to you by the Zoo-To-You gang.
Take the kids on a horse drawn wagon ride, watch the ice sculpture competition, chow down on some of the wide array of offerings from one of the many vendors in our marketplace area; and when evening comes, grab a giggle or two with the comedians at Comedy Night in the Lakes of Muskoka Beer Garden.
There is an international flavour to the event with the participation of Jamaican musher Damion Robb of the Jamaican Dog Sled Team. Over 70 competitors from across North America will be competing for the $10,000 purse. This event is within an hour's drive of Toronto and he hopes many of his supporters will be in attendance.
