Lions Report
Carnival Event Schedule
February 2015
By Brenda Lenson
Time is just flying by and it won’t be long until
our Winter Carnival date. I hope everyone has
their calendars marked for Saturday, February 21st and
plan to spend lots of time at the NKCC celebrating winter.
Parking at Lions Park with Horse Drawn Sleigh
Rides to the events at NKCC
Inside Activities 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
As stated in the past, we aren’t having the dogsled races this
year but have decided to go with a Family Fun Day with
lots of activities for everyone. All day long there will be
pony rides; zorba balls; snow sculpturing and horse drawn
sleigh/wagon rides. In case you don’t know what zorba
balls are, they are like human hamster balls where you get
inside and try and keep your balance while rolling around a
closed in track. It looks like a lot of fun.
• 9:00 Food Café + Bake Sale, Face Painting,
Clown Balloons, Silent Auction + Massage
• 11:00 Mad Science

our famous French fries; hamburgs and hot dogs; have an
indoor café and after 4:00 pm we will be serving up a pasta
dinner. There will be a talent show with a live band in the
evening. Watch for our flyers showing the times of various
events and plan on coming more than once to the NKCC for
a fun day.
Outdoor Activities 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
• TBD: Hot Air Balloon c/o Re/Max Realty

Balls, Snow Sculpture + Toboggan Race

I’m sure you can all appreciate; a day like this takes many
volunteers to pull it off. We are looking for as many volunteers as we can get. The “work” won’t be difficult and you
could have a lot of fun helping out. Students, if you need
community service hours, this is a good way to get some.
Please contact Brenda Lenson at (705) 656-9254 if you can
help out.

Parking for the day will be in the Lions Park so we can use
the parking lot at the NKCC for activities. You can ride the
horse drawn sleigh over to the Community Center.
