Snowball takes place on the Friday and Saturday of Family Day Weekend each year and has grown from an event attended mostly by Dorset residents to one attended by more than 1,000 people from all over Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Snowball is organized and run by an incredible team of volunteers, without whom the event would not be possible. Thank you to everyone who helps to make Snowball such a wonderful occasion. If you are interested in helping out at Snowball, give us a call or&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:recreation@algonquinhighlands.ca\">email&nbsp;<\/a>and we&#8217;ll guarantee that you have a great time!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main focus of Snowball is to provide affordable family-oriented entertainment, to make Dorset a &#8220;destination,&#8221; and to bring the community together for a day filled with winter activity and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the brochure, <a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/02\/2025-snowball-brochure-acc.pdf\">HERE<\/a> (pdf).<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Township of Algonquin Highlands The 33rd annual 2025 Dorset Snowball Winter Carnival takes place Friday, Feb. 14 and Saturday, Feb. 15!
