Hundreds of Bragg Creek residents soaked in the sunshine and raised money for their "holy grail" during a small-town celebration.
Hundreds of Bragg Creek residents soaked in the sunshine and raised money for their "holy grail" during a small-town celebration.
The third annual Winter in the Woods event was held Saturday.
It's an opportunity for the community to come together and fundraise for the upkeep of the Bragg Creek Community Centre outdoor rink.
The by-donation, all-day event is pegged as a celebration of Alberta winter -- and one of the community's most popular gathering spots.
Residents were thrilled to come out.
"Bragg Creek is community, and it's so close to the big city but it still has a small town feel," festival chair David Rupert said. "We've been raising money to refinish the rink, to get the boards done and perhaps get a canopy."
The day began with two hockey games between local teams, followed by an afternoon family skate and evening "Chuck-a-Puck" event.
