Looking for something to do with the grandkids during the Vernon Winter Carnival? If you love to dance, sing and laugh don't miss the Grandparent & Grandchild Dance hosted by the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives (GVMA) Sunday February 11th, sponsored by Kal Tire.

This winter wonderland themed dance party not only includes a mini-square dance lesson, but also the chance to join Kiki the Frozen Fairy (aka Kiki the Eco Elf) in silly interactive dances. During the break participants will be offered an ice cream sundae provided by Lollipop Lane, located inside Vernon Teach & Learn, as well as other snacks and refreshments to refuel.

Due to the overwhelming response we received last year, we've added a second dance. The morning dance, from 10:30am-12:00pm is recommended for grandkids six years and under, while the afternoon dance from 1:00pm-2:30pm is more suitable for those aged seven to twelve years.

This year we're excited to have photographer Camillia Courts involved. As grandparents and grandchildren enter the museum Camillia will take a quick photo, jot down their contact information and send one digital image free of charge following the dance. There will also be an option of purchasing more images directly from Courts.

This event is also a part of the museum's Kids Series sponsored by Kal Tire. A special thank you to Kal Tire for their continued support of this program.

Purchase your tickets for either dance at the Vernon Winter Carnival office for just $10 per person. Tickets must be purchased in advance.

For more information please contact the GVMA at 250-542-3142, visit www.vernonmuseum.ca<http://www.vernonmuseum.ca> or find us on facebook.
