Winterfete Serious Star Wars fans know Winter Fete as a holiday in the Tapani sector marking the winter equinox on the planet of Pelagon, whereas here in Alberta we have Winterfete at the legislature as part of Family Day activities in the city. No offence to the inhabitants of Pelagon, but we might well have the most fun in Edmonton, with indoor activities that include a scavenger hunt, magic and puppet shows, face painting and various craft activities. Outdoors on the grounds there will be autograph sessions with local sports figures, among them members of the Edmonton Eskimos, as well as horse-drawn wagon rides, snowman-making competitions, plus ice skating.
