The Trapper's Festival in The Pas


















My son Tom and I were at the Trapper's Festival in The Pas the last three days. We took the overnight train from Winnipeg to The Pas arriving Wednesday morning in time for the opening ceremonies. The photos show some of the activities.
1) The Four H Club in the festival parade
2) Members of the OCN Blizzard pose with me just before the start of the parade
3) My son Tom is with Bill Bannock (Walter Koshel) and Duncan from The Pas radio station.
4) I am with Grand Chief Sidney Garrioch and one of his dogs just before he starts in the six dog race.
5) The dogs are off.
6) Whoops - one of the teams left without its driver.
