WINTER CARNIVAL 2020 KICKING OFF JAN. 24TH

Dates are Friday, January 24 - Sunday, Feb. 2
The official Winter Carnival guide has been sent to the printer and the proverbial bull is in the shoot. We are gearing up for our 55th year of the event with a delightful theme of "It's a Kid's World." This year's poster artwork was done by our very own local artist,
JENNI RITCH! Our Grand Marshal this year is the beloved
JEANIE CORDTZ of Children's House Preschool.
A big thank you to the many of you special people who have sponsored, purchased ads, and listed events with us in the guide and to make Winter Carnival possible! We are grateful for all the support.
We are still looking for a few
SPONSORS (4th Place Sculpture Sponsorship Anyone?!) and also looking for
VOLUNTEERS! We have our ambassador program again this year that has funds available for non-profits who volunteer at carnival. Are you part of a non-profit group (501 (c)(3) ) and looking for a way to raise some extra funds? Sign-up for our ambassador program!
PARADE entry deadline is this Friday, January 10th so get your application in before the deadline passes. 60 spots available!
RAFFLE tickets are selling fast for our Winter Carnival snowmobile raffle. This 2019 800 Polaris Pro 155 Axys machine is a one-of-a-kind with a custom wrap from Fokus Graphics. Tickets are $10 and available at the Chamber and Mile High Power Sports. Big thank you to our partners who helped make this year's sled possible:

DESTINATION BEER ADDS ADDITIONAL
FRIDAY NIGHT EVENT (FEB. 28 & 29)
|
|
Idaho Brewer's United has added a second tasting event this year on the first Friday night, February 28th, in addition to their signature Saturday event!
Friday will have a slightly smaller beer selection than the Saturday session and will include more pub-style appetizers. Friday evening's event is also one hour shorter than Saturday's session. Think of this as "DB Light," but the perfect opportunity to taste incredible craft beer from around the State with less crowds.
The event is held in Depot Park in beautiful heated tents downtown!
