There's nothing quite like a winter city embracing all of the snowy, icy, frostiness as Prince George did during the annual Downtown Winterfest on Sunday.
There were s'mores to taste test, slides to slip down, a mini train to ride, a snow wall to explore, an ice throne to regally sit on - because you know you must sit up straight if you're royalty.
There was a duo of mini horses to pet, an indoor market to wander through and an outdoor DJ with an exciting beat to set the pace as the Spruce Kings and Cariboo Cougars played street hockey with those wishing to pick up a stick to make a big score. There was even a shoe toss, a mini curling bonspiel and a mini-golf snow course.
There were food trucks to choose lunch from and artistic endeavours to explore at the Two Rivers Gallery.
Kara Biles came down to the event with her four-year-old son Van and her mom Lynne, who didn't want to tell her age.
"We always go to all the events held in Prince George," Biles said. "This one is great because it gives us something to do during the winter."
The Biles family was taking their turn at creating paper cutout snowflakes at the Two Rivers Gallery - half the fun is seeing how it looks after cutting the folded paper.
Inside the market was vendor Linda Hogh whose home-based business is called Chalk Couture.
"It's an awesome event and Winterfest is very family-oriented," Hogh said. "There's something here for everybody."
The indoor market is a great way for small businesses to showcase their wares to Prince George, she added.
"The community supports you and you support the community," Hogh said.
The event took place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
