Birthday Bash Blitz & Frozen Dog – Wicked Cool!

Monday March 12

Birthday Bash Blitz & Frozen Dog – Wicked Cool!

It seems like Mother Nature has a thing to say about global Warming and judging by the last couple of nights, she’s not letting it get to her!

We had a very cool “March Birthday Bash Blitz” and all the cool people were there to celebrate. Even though the North Winds were blowing there was no stopping the die hard dancers as they squeaked and boogied to the throbbing beats of DJ Doc70. What’s that you say?! Squeaked?? Well, that’s the sound you heard throughout the castle as the dancers’ boots would step and spin.

Snowbank Frank’s Royal Café was a nice refuge from the cold and was filled with rosy cheeked smiles and laughter.

Saturday saw the much anticipated opening of Dead Man’s Slide. However, it was so popular that it needed a lot of repairs on Sunday and Shiverin’ (Sufferin’) Sam was hard at it on the Slide Doctorin’!

The Frozen Dog Film Festival (7th Annual) was once again a popular event and so a bunch of hardy souls stayed until the very end.


Sunday was very busy and the crew was happy to be building yet more walls!

Don’t forget this weekend coming, we’ll celebrate our 500th and 1000th snow blocks with back to back live entertainment in our newly heated venue. That’s right! We’ll have the roof on and the heat pumped for this Rock n Roll Extravaganza! Starts at 8pm both Friday and Saturday nights. Bring your dancing snowboots!

Also, check out the 2nd annual (for the castle at least!) Shambhala Art Festival Saturday from 11:30 to 2.

See you at the castle and stay cool!

Yer pal,

Snowking

Well it's finally on and didn't we get the cold weather?
We kicked off the 12th Snowking's winter festival with some great fireworks and the cold weather didn't seem to scare off too many people. We opened our doors and saw lots of smiling faces pass through.

The castle will now be open every day from 11 am to 5pm and we'll keep building so we get everything completed.

There will be a March Birthday Blitz Dance Party featuring DJ Doc70 on Friday night and then on Saturdayu night we'll have the 7th Annual Frozen Dog Film Festival. Both of these events will be real cool so be sure to dress warm.

Also, Snowbank Frank's Royal Cafe will be open serving you coffee and hot chocolate but if you want your own special blend you are encouraged to bring your own thermos. Also please save a plastic tree and bring your thermo mug too (so we don't have to use those disposable cups so much.)

Hope you like the castle and watch this spot for the soon to come virtual tour of the castle.
