After a successful inaugural event last year, the Downtown Moose Jaw Association (DMJA) will continue its Snowtorious Family Day in Crescent Park for an early celebration of Family Day this Saturday, Feb. 17.
The day’s activities will begin at 11 a.m. and continue until 3 p.m. Attendance is free of charge, and everything planned for the event is aimed at providing a family-friendly experience.
Most of the festivities will take place inside or in front of the Moose Jaw Public Library and the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery (MJMAG), with the addition of a horse-drawn wagon winding through Crescent Park. Both the library and the MJMAG are normally closed for the long weekend brought on by the public holiday but will remain open for the duration of the event.
A game of street hockey will be held along Langdon Crescent in front of the library and art gallery. In last year’s inaugural outing, kids participated in a three-on-three game of street hockey and were pitted against members of the Moose Jaw Warriors and Moose Jaw’s Mayor Clive Tolley.
Other outdoor activities will include a game of Connect Four, Cornhole, and more to be announced.
Inside the library and art gallery, activities will include a 3D printing demonstration, Lego building, and more. Several free giveaway opportunities are also planned for the event.
Guided tours of the MJMAG will be available on the hour giving visitors some insights into the finer workings of the local art museum. Visitors will have the chance to take in the MJMAG’s latest exhibition, the Wakšúpi: Historic Lakota Beadwork, curated by Dr. Claire Thomson, PhD.
Hungry guests can purchase a hotdog provided by the Moose Jaw Co-op for only $2 each. If a free meal is preferred, hotdogs come free of charge with the donation of a non-perishable food item to the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank.
As an additional perk for arriving early, the first 50 people to show up will receive a 2024 edition #Snowtorious toque free of charge.
Snowtorious Family Day is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Moose Jaw Kinsmen Club, the Moose Jaw Co-op, Tim Horton’s, and by the City of Moose Jaw.
