More than 70 youngsters, a record turnout, made the annual Kids Fest at Mount Cain Ski Area a big success Saturday.
Held in blowing snow for much of the day, the event featured races, an obstacle course, snow sculptures, face painting and various arts and crafts.
Entirely volunteer-run, Kids Fest was backed by sponsorship of North Island business ranging from Port Hardy, Port McNeill and Sointula to Campbell River and Courtenay.
