The day is finally here.
Ste. Rose's Hoof 'N' Holler is going stronger than ever, and the family-friendly festival begins on Thursday night.
Emilie Durston is the president of the Ste. Rose Hoof 'N' Holler Committee.
If you haven't checked out the festival in past years, Durston says it's a must-visit.
"Basically, it's a festival that brings the community together to celebrate our agricultural roots, and Thanksgiving," she added.
Thursday events include a Ste. Rose Prevost Foundation bingo at the Community Hall, starting at 6:00.
On Friday, there's a family fun carnival at the Kinsmen beer gardens from 4:00 to 7:00; there's an 18+ beer pong tournament at 9:00 in the Ste. Rose curling rink, followed by live music from 9:30 to 12:30 a.m.; and Saturday starts with a parade at 10:00 a.m.
"We've got some wagon rides, there is a Métis Mini Market, which we are super excited about," said Durston. "We have a craft sale, and the Heartland Rodeo starts at 3:00 at the Ste. Rose skating rink. Then, there's live music at night."
The festival continues into Sunday with another jam-packed day.
"We've still got lots happening, starting with a pancake breakfast, and the proceeds are going to the Ste. Rose playground committee," ended Durston. "The Maeghan Bramley Memorial Steppers perform at 10:00 a.m., coin in the straw for those aged 15-and-under. There's more rodeo action at 1:00, and a cabaret starting at 8:00 p.m."
The 47th Hoof 'N' Holler Queen will be named at 10:00 p.m., during the cabaret. It's going to be an incredible weekend in Ste. Rose, and you can see the schedule here.
