Winterfest 2023 has a bit of a different look.
The new lineup for the Five Counties Children’s Centre fundraiser has been released.
PTBOToday.ca caught up with staff member Linsey Kampf.
Kampf highlights some dates you should circle on your calendar.
Here is a complete list of events:
February 1-28 – Winterfest kicks off with the first-ever ‘Thank You Card Contest’ for Kids. Help Five Counties show appreciation to its supporters by writing words, creating a drawing, or colouring a picture that says, ‘thank you.’ Kids can enter to win prizes, and one child’s artwork will be selected and featured on Five Counties thank you cards. Find contest rules and colouring sheet samples on the Five Counties website.
February 16-21 – Check out the many Winterfest Virtual Events available, including a workout with the Peterborough Petes, winter scavenger hunt, story times, baking demo, snow creature contest and magic show.
February 16-21 – Winterfest gears up with its Online Auction featuring a selection of hand-made quilts, artisanal wood items, gift cards, kids’ toys, and more. Register to join the bidding.
February 18 – See you in-person for fun, family-friendly Winterfest activities set for Lansdowne Place (645 Lansdowne St. W.) in Peterborough from 10 am to 2 pm.
February 19 – Check out the fabulous Winterfest festivities coming to Lindsay Square Mall (401 Kent St. W.) in Lindsay from 10 am to 2 pm.
February 20 – Cap the Family Day long weekend by cheering on the Peterborough Petes as the team hosts the Sudbury Wolves. Take part in a raffle and have a chance to win prizes, all while supporting Five Counties.
In 2022, Winterfest raised nearly $20,000 to support the programs and services provided by Five Counties to more than 6,000 children/youth and their families in Peterborough City-County, the City of Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland County and Haliburton County.
