The party started Feb. 6 with the popular balloon glow kicking off the 10-days of carnival fun.

There are only a handful of events planned for today to wrap things up.

From 12:30 to 3:30 p.m., the Vernon Community Arts Centre will be hosting rock painting.

Have fun painting and decorating stones with snowflake patterns and winter designs using a variety of tools and techniques. Try painting, dotting, stamping, or even decoupage if you prefer not to draw.

The fun, family-friendly activity is free and open to everyone ages three and up.

All supplies are provided and participants are advised to wear art appropriate clothes.

From 3 to 5 p.m., SilverStar Mountain Resort will be hosting the VWC Apres Ski Party featuring music, dancing, cocktails, and the high-energy vibe that comes from wrapping up a day on the mountain.

Tickets are $25 each.
