Ok, you may be new to Clarenville, or you may be away or you may just not be aware or you may just want to know...This post is for you - read on.
There's a lot of great winter opportunities shaping up in our town this winter and we want you to be part of it. Let me just speak of a few that I know of so far - in the order of when they are happening:
WHITE HILLS opening this Coming weekend - Click to play information video
CARIBOUS
No lockout here! Clarenville's beloved hockey is on the ice this coming weekend. Get your tickets at the Events Centre.
SNOWSHOEING
Snowshoeing is gaining in popularity and some new trails that lead to some breathtaking destinations are being developed. Just this morning I was involved in breaking a trail to Arron's Lookout. Arron's Lookout is the bald hill that you can on the 90 degree turn see as you drive into White Hills. This is a 4 km round trip from the Lee Churchill Chalet and it takes you through woods, across bogs and up to one of the best views around. If you bring kids and a lunch it makes for a great family hike that will be fun for all. Regardless of where you go there are plenty of places to go - try it!
It's literally a mouthful! Eat the Hill will be all about celebrating winter and eating well. You see, on the weekend of February 9th, star chefs from across the province will be at White Hills to offer up a culinary delight! It will be a great event to be part of - and best of all you can ski/showshoe between meals! Tickets are on sale this week .
