The 61st Vernon Winter Carnival (VWC) is out of the gate, and although it looks a lot different than other years, organizers have gone to great lengths to try have some fun despite COVID-19 restrictions.

Vernon Matters reporter Kevin Rothwell rode out to Jopo Ranch, aka Polson Park, to talk to VWC head honcho Vicki Proulx.
