By David F. Rooney
Day Two of the Revelstoke Spirit Festival offered residents a wide variety of activities ranging from skiing and boarding at Revelstoke Mountain Resort’s Family Spirit Day to a hockey game between the police and the firefighters, a Wines of the World event at Powder Springs, a celebration of mountain culture at the Big Eddy Pub and the Carousel of Nations at the Community Centre.
There’s lots more to come this week. In the meantime, here are some photos from a few of the day’s events:
