Eichardt’s K9 Keg Pull
The signature closing event of the Winter Carnival brings dogs and their owners downtown, where the pups will race down a snowy course on Cedar Street in front of Eichardt’s Pub. Keg sizes are tailored to dogs’ sizes — from a full-sized keg to a beer can, it’s a race against the clock for best time and prizes. The beloved event benefits the Better Together Animal Alliance pet shelter. Registration starts at 10:15 a.m. with races beginning at 11 a.m.
Free family film Cool Runnings
Following the K9 Keg Pull, the Innovia Foundation hosts a free screening of Cool Runnings at the Panida Theater, which tells the true story of the Jamaican bobsled team at the 1988 Winter Olympics. The free matinee screens at 2:30 p.m. at 300 N. First Ave.
Tea Time Serenade
The talented faculty at the Music Conservatory of Sandpoint will perform classical music at the Little Carnegie Hall at 110 Main St. starting at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults, $10 for students, available at sandpointconservatory.com.
