When Frost Fest returns to Penticton this weekend, there won't be any shortage of action on the city's outdoor rink.

With the help of the BCHL's Penticton Vees, the winter carnival is bringing several events to the downtown facility on Saturday, Jan. 18.

鈥淭he outdoor rink is at the heart of Frost Fest, bringing a slice of Canadiana to life,鈥� said Penticton Mayor Julius Bloomfield.

鈥淭he lineup of events being presented by the Penticton Vees runs the gamut, allowing all ages and abilities to hit the ice. I hope everyone takes the opportunity to lace them up and join in the fun."
