Lac La Ronge Winter Festival crowns King and Queen Trappers
Ten days of Lac La Ronge Winter Festival events are finished for another year and the King and Queen Trappers are crowned.
The festival began March 1 at the Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Centre, which was the location for most of the events. It was the place to be for the last day of festivities March 10, where hundreds of people gathered for the final King and Queen Trapper skill challenges, as well as the Eighth Annual Jimmy Roberts Memorial Hockey Tournament. In the end, Richard Charles was crowned king with 47 points and Clarissa Burns became queen with 39 points, marking her fourth win in a row.
“It was more of a challenge compared to last year,” she said. “The points were more spread out. The girls are getting better every time I come back.”
