Marathon Winter Carnival is back for a second year and will run over the four-day Family Day weekend, February 17-20. Many events from 2011 are expected to return, including snow golf at the Marathon Ski Club, a snowmobile poker run, the snow sculpture contest and a hockey battle between make-believe teams called the “Toronto Maple Leafs” and the “Montreal Canadiens.” New this year will be dogsled rides provided by Pukaskwa National Park. The festival is organized by the Marathon Chamber of Commerce and other groups. For updates, check the Marathon Winter Carnival Facebook page.
