The Community of St. Malo is busy preparing to welcome visitors to their second annual Festival of Friends.

The 2nd annual Festival of Friends, which is organized by local volunteers, is scheduled to kick off on February 13, and run until February 15. A variety of winter related events will take place throughout the community, but the majority of events are scheduled to take place within the St. Malo Provincial Park.

For the second year in a row the festival will also be a part of the 40th annual Festival du Voyageur venue as a trading post. It will be known as the Relais Chaboillé Trading Post. Last year, the post was added to encourage festival goers to venture into the rural areas by the creation of a game.

The La Broquerie Hotel was the other rural trading post site for the Festival.

Volunteers are still needed to ensure the success of this growing event. Anyone interested can contact Léo Roch.
