Lowville Winter Games - Beat the Winter Blues!

It's time to sharpen up your skates and wax the family toboggan. The village of Lowville, north of Britannia Road on Guelph Line in Burlington, is holding their annual winter games on Sunday, February 7th, 2010 from 12 noon to 4pm.

This fun-filled day will take place at Lowville Park. Come early for the Pancake Eating Contest which is being sponsored by Golden Griddle.

They'll be horse drawn wagon rides, log sawing, entertainment, tobogganing, skating, crafts and games for the whole family.

The Lowville United Church will have goodies for sale to stave off those winter munchy attacks after an afternoon spent skating or tobogganing.

What better way for families to have fun together? The Lowville Winter Game events are free!

Leave your car at the Halton District School Board parking lot (first driveway west of Guelph Line on Upper Middle Road) and take the FREE shuttle bus starting at noon.
That way you'll be sure to not have to worry over where you're going to park when you arrive at Lowville Park.

For more information about the Lowville Winter Games call 905-335-7600 ext 7201.

Jo, I'd like to see it myself....the pancake eating contest! That's one contest I haven't heard of before :) I imagine it's messy like our Hot Dog eating contests......

This sounds like a lot of fun! I keep meaning to snow shoe each year and never get around to it..maybe yet this year!

Carole,

I've never seen a pancake eating contest either....I bet lots of maple syrup gets consumed! I'll try to take some videos to post for you,

Fred,

Pancake eating contests and breakfasts are so big in Ontario....are they a popular social thing in BC too?

Kristin,

Snowshoeing is a lot of fun and great exercise.....a good way to see wildlife in the woods too.

Jo--Looks like fun. Showshoeing is on my list of things to try this winter. Usually I am a cross country skier, but I am ready and willing . . . our snow is melting. Winter is not over.

While I am here I plan to subscribe to your blog. Thanks for the post about Jane. (I subscribed to hers, too.)
