Cool Time at the Carnival
Hello everyone from beautiful (and COLD) Quebec City, Canada. Today there's a nice light snow falling, and it may hit 25 degrees if we are lucky. That's appropriate, because I am here visiting some friends who are working on the Québec Winter Carnival. It’s a family-friendly celebration of art, culture, sports, and entertainment to which tourists from around the world are invited. My kind of event!
A while back, I lived here in Quebec City for about a year, so it is wonderful to get back and see this place and see my wonderful friends here again. When I moved here--let's just say as a "much younger person"--there were really only two big festivals per year.
During the time I was here, the community decided to actively promote festivals as an economic development strategy. The outcome is amazing! The city now boasts more than 30 festivals per year. A sampling of these events can be found here.
I hear that you have had your share of "wintry mix" of snow and ice in the last couple of days in Raytown. Stay warm!
