Naturally, with an event featuring a golf movie you would, of course, find a mini-golf course.

Mini-golf was one of 40 activities on hand prior to a showing of the hilarious flick Happy Gilmore during the Vernon Winter Carnival害羞草研究所檚 Grown Up Yard Games, Barbecue and Outdoor Movie Night Wednesday, Sept. 13, at Mackie House in Coldstream.

The event, originally scheduled for August but re-scheduled due to wildfire smoke, is to celebrate being halfway to the 64th Vernon Winter Carnival Feb. 2-12, 2024. The theme for Carnival is Game! (board, parlour, card, sports).

A barbeque was fired up with smokies and burgers (including vegan options), and what害羞草研究所檚 a movie without a concession that had popcorn from Yeti Kettle Corn and candy bags from O害羞草研究所橩eefe Historic Ranch?

害羞草研究所淲e were super excited about the turn out,害羞草研究所� said Carnival director and event burger flipper Boris Ivanoff about the night. 害羞草研究所淭he location of Mackie Lake House was incredible.害羞草研究所�
