McCall Winter Carnival
Winter Carnival Countdown is On!
We are just a couple weeks away from McCall’s Annual Winter Carnival, which spans three action-packed days from Friday, February 23 – Sunday, February 24. Visitors and locals will enjoy the classic snow sculpture tour, two parades, a lakeside fireworks show, and live music on the Main Stage, along with other favorite events like the McPaws Monster Dog Pull, Snowshoe Golf, Grand Bingo, and more!
Volunteers Needed:
The Chamber of Commerce works hard to put on this massive event every year, and it takes a lot of volunteers to make the Carnival Magic happen. Those interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities for individuals, groups or clubs can contact the McCall Chamber Office at info@mccallchamber.org
ATV Raffle Tickets on Sale
Another way to support the McCall Winter Carnival is through the annual fundraising raffle. This year’s grand prize is a Polaris 450 Sportsman ATV. Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased in advance of the event at the Chamber of Commerce office at 605 N 3rd St in McCall or at the vendor court during the event.
I have a big stash of tickets on hand myself, so if you’d like to purchase directly through me, please respond to this email and we can connect when it’s convenient for you!
Ticket sales are limited to 3000 and the drawing will be held at 6:30 pm on Saturday, February 24. Ticket holders do NOT need to be present to win.
