🖍️ River of Lights Frost Fest Colouring Contest! 🖍️

Get ready to showcase your creativity! Thanks to our wonderful partners at Chatham-Kent Public Library Wallaceburg Branch, we are hosting a fun-filled colouring contest completely inside the library.

Here is what families need to know:

📍Visit the Wallaceburg branch during regular business hours to pick up and colour your pages right at the library.

⏰ The contest runs from November 1st until November 18th, which is when all finished masterpieces must be turned in to the library staff.

❄️ Four separate groups ensure kids of all ages can participate: 0-4, 5-8, 9-12, and 12-18.

🏆 A $25 gift card will be awarded to the winner of each category!

Each colouring page will ask for a name, age, and phone number, which will only be used to contact the winners.

And remember to save the date! Join us on Thursday, November 19th from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm to experience the beautiful River of Lights! ❄️

Heartfelt thanks to CKPL for supporting this wonderful community initiative for our local youth. We can't wait to see you there! 👋✨

The magic is coming back to James Street — Frost Fest is officially returning, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate another unforgettable night with our community. We’ve reached out to our past vendors, but this year we’re looking to fill up James Street even more. We’re looking for artisans, bakers, artists, makers, and unique local vendors to help transform downtown into an amazing holiday market. Vendor spots are $45.00 and include approximately 10 feet of space. Vendors must bring their own tables and any setup items needed for their business. If you’d like to join us, please email [email protected] — we’d love to have you.
