McCall Winter Festival

Today kicks off the 2008 McCall Winter Carnival in McCall, Idaho, a small resort town about 2 hours north of Boise in the rugged Idaho mountains. Many events are scheduled for the 10 day event. This year’s carnival has the theme “Wild, Wild West”. Many events from past years are on the venue again this year including the snow sculptures, Monte Carlo night, Snowshoe Golf and the Mardi Gras Parade. A new event this year is the extreme rider snowmobile event.

Also this year, the 2007 Yellow Pine Harmonica Festival will be a part of the Carnival. With the fires last summer, Yellow Pine wasn’t able to hold it annual event. So they’ve partnered up with McCall to provide carnival attendees with a musical treat. And if you play the harmonica, be sure to bring it along as jam sessions are sure to break out.
