Winterfest Weekend 2009

January 15-19, 2009. Additional information will be posted as plans are confirmed.

  2009 Winterfest: Hot on the heals of last year's extravaganza, Winterfest 2009 promises to provide everyone with another outstanding weekend of activities and excitement. Winterfest weekend kicks off on Thursday, January 15th, at our main Senior Citizen Center with the Winterfest Senior Dance. The Senior Citizen Center will also be the location for our Wine Tasting on Friday, January 16th. On the same evening, Lincoln Arena will host a Knee Hockey Tournament for the younger hockey enthusiasts.
Lincoln Park/Arena will be hopping on Saturday and Sunday with two full days of activities. On Saturday morning ice hockey teams from Hamilton, Ontario will be in Town to compete against the Town's House League Select Teams. Outside events during the morning and afternoon will include a One Pitch Softball Tournament, and hayrides through Lincoln Park.

  Back in the ice arena, spectators will be treated to a Figure Skating Show, three Mini-Mite Hockey Games as well as a Free Recreational Skate from 7:00pm and 10:00pm. Saturday evening concludes with an outdoor concert and bonfire. Sunday morning begins on the ice again with a Skills Competition for youth hockey players. As afternoon approaches the arena will host a Family Carnival and Skating Session with games, an ice sculpting exhibition, snowmobile rides, and other family activities. Late in the day the Kenmore East and Kenmore West Federation Hockey teams battle it out in the Winterfest Classic. The evening ends at Lincoln Park with a low level fireworks display.  The Aquatic and Fitness Center will be the site of a Floating Flicks Night where patrons float on inner tubes, air mattresses or rubber rafts while viewing the movie Happy Feet.
  On Monday, the 19th the Winterfest finishes up with a 3 on 3 Hockey Tournament at Lincoln and Brighton Arenas.  A Miniature Golf Tournament will be offered at the Paddock Chevrolet Golf Dome followed by a Hole-In-One Contest.  Lincoln Arena will have a Winterfest Wind Down Recreational Skating Session sponsored by the Town Police Club.
