It's Fur Rondy this weekend and next..you can read about it's history here
and the programme for this year is here
We piled onto the bus on a rather cold but sunny Saturday and found out how many people thought of doing the same! The traffic was gridlocked but the bus was warm .. we didn't manage to watch the races this year (we were still on the bus!) but this is what happened news article
So we went for a carriage ride as a treat instead and met Barney and Bob :0) they are beautiful Percherons. Bob is 18 and Barney 17 or was it the other way around? They were not phased by close traffic and the carriage had a thick warm rug for our knees...just what we needed.
Then it was a quick look at the course and the dog trucks...
Then off to the Museum for a fun event ... travel around the World and get stamps on your passport all indoors in the warm! ....listen to music and watch the dancers. It was fun, full and interesting.
Younger dancers
Visit Tonga
Make Origami Peace cranes
Wear a sparkling Bindi mark
Make sure you complete your crane (we made more when we got home..well BK did!)
Have you name painted/written in Korean
Try on an ornate Korean Wig (it was I'm assured very heavy)
Then home on the bus (via the library ) and tea by the fire.
A Good day out.
