The Old Forge Winter Carnival Committee is encouraging all winter enthusiasts to join in the carnival parade up Main Street on Friday, February 14, the kick-off event of carnival weekend which will be held on Saturday and Sunday, February 15 and 16 at McCauley Mountain.
This year’s theme is “Old Forge Loves the Olympics,” in celebration of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games and Valentine’s Day.
Marching in the parade will be Grand Marshal John “Louie” Ehrensbeck, a former Olympian who trained at McCauley Mountain, past carnival royalty, and soon-to-be-crowned king and queen Tim and Patty Foley.
The parade starts at 6:45 p.m. from the Town of Webb School bus circle and the committee welcomes entries from the creative to the zany. Line-up begins at 6:30 p.m.
Following the parade, there will an ice skating party at the outdoor rink on Joy Tract Road. Bring your own skates and enjoy a bonfire, music and hot cocoa.
Old Forge Winter Carnival is a Central Adirondack Association event. More information is available by calling (315) 369-6983.
