Prince George, B.C. – The 2012 edition of the Mardi Gras Snow Daze Winter Festival kicks off today with plenty of events to entertain and get involved in right through to February 19^th. 

 

The two-week fun blitz meant to get rid of those winter blues gets rolling with the Mr. Prince George pageant tonight at the Ramada Hotel. Doors open at 6 and the contestants strut their stuff at 7. 

 

The festival includes events for people of all ages, with Fun Fair Days planned for kids and seniors. Of course there’s the annual OTL Tournament, taking place February 11^th and 12^th at Dillman’s field on Muralt Road in Beaverly. 

 

Snow Daze Talent Night is lined up for February 17^th at the Treasure Cove Show Lounge, and there’s a Curling Funspiel at the Prince George Golf and Curling club on the 18^th. Every team plays four 2-end games and, as in all of the events during the 36^th anniversary of Snow Daze, you’re encouraged to dress up in your wildest Mardi Gras New Orleans-type costume….all in the name of fun!
