Again this February the Heritage Festival will hold an overnight camping experience open to everyone. Last year eight brave souls ventured into the world of winter camping and all survived to tell about it - in fact, most of these are returning to try it again! The evening will begin with a hearty supper of homemade stew, cooked over an open fire.

Through the evening the kind people of Crow Lake will visit to offer moral support and goodies. Everyone is invited to visit the encampment through the evening and get a taste of the life of a heritage fur trapper. Period canvas tents and a large lean-to will provide shelter through the night and a roaring fire will be kept going to provide warmth. The heated school house will be kept open through the night to use the washrooms or to warm up if necessary. In the morning a delicious home cooked breakfast will be served to all who survive the night.

There is no cost to participate in this fun event but space is limited, so you must pre-register by calling Mike at 613-279-2572 or Bob at 613-279-3003. There is room for only a few more campers so call soon to book your spot.
