Winter Activities
It’s the end of January, normally the coldest time of the year. So why not have an election. Ah well. Much more sensible is La Fete des Neiges de Montreal. The 24rd Edition of the Fete des Neiges de Montréal will take place over 3 consecutive weekends: January 28 & 29, February 4 & 5, and February 11 & 12, 2006.
It sounds like a lot of fun for young and old alike. As you’ll see on the website, Boule de Neige, the irrefutable king of the celebrations, is busily getting ready for the festivities. He and his many friends are eager to welcome the children and take in the many pleasures of winter.
There is also a serious purpose as exemplified by the many Wellness Ambassadors. They support the Fete des Neiges de Montreal’s endeavors in promoting the overall benefits of outdoor physical activity to their visitors.
You’ll find the full details on the Fete des Neiges website. There are one or too glitches. It does say See you next year and they’ve forgotten to update from 2005 to 2006 but all the dates that count seem to be right. So get your raquettes, skates and sleds ready for fun. The only possible difficulty may be that, with this crazy winter weather we’re now experiencing from time to time, it may be too warm.
i’ll try to be at the Piknik Electronik on Saturday evening, February 4 -i’ll probably be there from around 9:00pm until the end of the show at 11:00. i really liked it last year. i also liked skating around and under the big sculpture not far from the stage, so i’ll repeat the experience.
if somebody reads this and wants to say hi, i’m a tall 6′4” guy and i’ll probably be wearing a black coat :) just ask: ‘Are you Monkey?’ :D
