There will be a DJ to dance the night away and Tanner's Pub & Grill will host the bar and sell food during the evening. Look for some fun activities including the crowning of the Snow Queen and King. Another new event this year is a Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, January 27 also at the Acton Town Hall Centre, at 19 Willow St. North. The breakfast will run from 9 - 11 a.m., and this is a fundraiser for the Acton Air Cadets. Festivities will start at Prospect Park at 11 a.m. on Sunday, and there will be a host of activities for the entire family to enjoy. There will be horse and wagon rides, outdoor curling run by the Acton Curling Club, an Acton House League Hockey Tournament, public skating and a snow golf mini putt competition.

Chili will be judged at 3 p.m., by our very own Ryan Parker from Q107Classic Rock, and Gerry Kentner and Lori Gysel from What's Cookin'.
