The 44th annual Denare Beach Winter Festival had a busy and fun weekend.
There were no fish caught in the Family Fishing Derby so draws were made with the first going to Brandon Ireland, second Mark Rae, third to Wes Majee and fourth Kadence Eyres.
The youngest boy was awarded to nine-month-old Lynx Dease, the youngest girl one year-old Karenda Linklater and the oldest fisherman Dave Wasylciw. Turkey curling was won by Chicken Ranch with Mark Rae, Yvette Rae, Tyson Rae and Brady Grant, second by Ace Holes with Mike Quesnel, Josh Wiegers, Ben Chernick and Alanna Scott and third by Chicken Choker Dale Holmgren, Debbie Knutson, Mike Durette and Rian Bayless.
The Festival opened with the Mushers Supper Friday evening along with a penny parade, children’s events, a cribbage tournament and trap setting races with Saturday starting out with a pancake breakfast with more children’s events, a hockey tournament, dog sled rides and a skating party wrapping up with the Snow Drags on Sunday.
