FROSTY FROLICS

Frosty Frolics is a winter carnival held in Bancroft during mid-February of each year.
The highlight of the carnival is the sled dog races held on the third Saturday in February. The premier event is the 55 Mile Mid-Distance Race which attracts teams from Ontario, Quebec and the north eastern USA. There is a keen interest by the mushers to participate in our race because of the challenging course offered through the rugged countryside of Dungannon and Mayo Townships. This race is a jewel in Quad Crown (Eldorado, Marmora, Kearney, Bancroft).
