An expanded lineup of activities and exhibits and a blanket of fresh snow greeted visitors at this year’s Old-Fashioned Victorian Christmas at Barkerville Historic Town and Park.
Held Dec. 14-16, the three-day special event featured a full slate of interpreters and activities, such as town tours, winterized museum exhibits, caroling in the streets and demonstrations. Visitors could enjoy horse-drawn sleigh rides through town, cookie decorating and unique Victorian Christmas cards made at the Cariboo Sentinel office. The Q-City Singers, Aka Bellas and Quesnel Junior School band provided entertainment.
The Old-Fashioned Victorian Christmas event also marked the opening of the Shamrock Tube Run. The Tube Run will now be open every Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. until March 29. As well, it will be open Dec. 26 to Dec. 31 for Christmas break, Feb. 17 for Family Day and March 20-27 for spring break.
