Let It Shine, Let it Shine, Let it Shine.

Saturday Jan 6th was our Sunrise Festival, and the first Festival of many this year. It all started at 7pm Saturday night. All wrapped up in Parka's, hats and Mitts, people gathered for the Fireworks and bonfire to celebrate the Arrival of the Sun.

Many cars filled the streets just outside of town. I have never seen so many cars in the North before. I honestly believe that the whole town and surrounding areas were there.

There is something to be said about the colours in the sky in the North. They really do light up all the snow. A great way to say Hello to the Sun again!!


A huge bonfire created some heat for those around the area. You don't even feel the cold at all. It really is a different kind of cold. But this doesn't mean you don't need to dress for the winter occasion.
