There are a variety of children’s activities including, face painting, horse drawn wagon rides, clog dancing, pictures with Santa, plus the opportunity to put your creativity to work with your favourite North Star hockey player to make decorations for a tree that will be donated to the Empty Stocking Fund. There is also a chance to decorate your own cookies or win a prize in contests that will be happening throughout the day. Lunch and snacks will be available all day at Santa’s Sweet Shoppe.
In addition, Carnival & Bazaar is an occasion to view and bid on various items such as the beautifully decorated trees, indoor & outdoor creations and tablescapes. If you head to the North Pole, you will have a chance to view and bid on the delightful trees decorated by students from the community. There will also be a chance to win an item from the Raffle Table.
