The 4th Annual Pinedale Winter Carnival, hosted by Main Street Pinedale, was a huge success!
The location change of the Cardboard Classic to the Burzlander Park Sledding Hill turned out great, with a record number of spectators coming out to watch all the action and to enjoy the yummy offerings from several local vendors.
The two-day Skijoring event attracted competitors and spectators from all over the county, state, and as far away as Germany! Other fun events from the weekend included the Pancake Breakfast, The Sno-Ball with LIVE music and the crowning of this year’s Winter Carnival King and Queen – Mindi Crabb and Jeff Goetz - the Kids Sno-Cross Race, Cornhole Tournament, and the adult co-ed Hockey Tournament.
