Between Cook’s Quest and the Chili Cookoff, Corner Brook Winter Carnival is turning into a week of competition!
Cook’s Quest returned to Corner Brook on Sunday afternoon with a new location and plenty of new competitors! The blowing snow and chilly temperatures didn’t keep people away either, hundreds of people showed up to cheer on their favorite sleds!
On Saturday at noon I wandered over to Margaret Bowater Park to check out Corner Brook Winter Carnival’s 4th Annual Chili Cookoff. The mild weather had lead to a large crowd (over 170 people!) gathered around the tents that housed the Chili Cookoff, with one line of hungry people streaming into the tents and another line of full people leaving the tent with chili stained lips, trying to remember which chili was the best so they could cast their vote.
After a successful introduction at Coleman’s at the Gardens, Corner Brook is set to get a proper introduction to sushi.
Newfound Sushi is located at 117 Broadway and is hoping to open at the end of the February. We’ll have more details as the days get closer.
Many people might think that thrift store art might seem incredibly tacky, but to Mark Adams it’s inspiration.
After graduating from the Visual Arts program in 2010 and moving to St. John’s, Mark is back in Corner Brook this weekend for an exhibition opening at JL Gallery and a live performance at The White Horse.
Earlier this month 20-year-old Phil McCarthy died in a car accident while living in Fort McMurray. His friends will tell you that he was an amazing musician with a huge appreciation and passion for music. Tonight, visual artists and musicians will share some of that passion in a celebration of his life.
The March Hare, the incredible three-day festival of poetry and writing, will be setting up shop in Corner Brook from March 9th to the 11th. This year’s lineup is fantastic, full of events, readers, writers and performers that you won’t want to miss out on.
The 2012 Corner Brook Winter Carnival is right around the corner and the schedule is absolutely jam packed with all kinds of activities. You’ve got all sorts of food (breakfasts, chili, roast beef, beans, cabbage rolls and more!), tons of live entertainment, Cook’s Quest, the Rusty Cup, the Party in the Park, and… well, there’s so much more.
We’ve got the entire schedule here for you, so check it out below!
Last night I had a quick chat with Paul Heppleston about how he’s finding the RPM Challenge this year. Check it out below!
For the first time in 20 years, female students at Grenfell Campus are playing competitive basketball at a university level.
This weekend the Grenfell Warriors played host to their first invitational basketball tournament in decades. While they didn’t win (losing the CBRH Titans in the championship game), they showed that the Warriors are back.
