The Wakamow Valley Authority will be hosting its annual horse and wagon rides on Dec. 28 to say “goodbye” to 2019.

The event is free of charge and runs from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Kiwanis Park Pavilion near the skating oval.

“It is a nice Saturday afternoon, not dark yet, so it shouldn’t be too cold hopefully,” said Trish German,.Wakamow Valley Authority administrator and event co-ordinator.

Hot chocolate will be served out of the skate room.

German says the turnout for the event is very dependent on the weather.

“If it is cold we do have diehards that’ll bundle up and come out. When it’s mild we’ve seen 500 to 600 people come through,”

The horse and wagon will be supplied by the Prairie Percherons owned by Blair and Tracey Bickford from Marquis.

More information about the winter wagon rides can be found on the Wakamow Valley Authority’s website or Facebook page.
