Plans for a bigger than usual Cochrane Winter Carnival to celebrate the new millennium hit a bit of a snag, and a newspaper report from November 5th, 1999 is the basis of our weekly history feature.
The Cochrane Times, in a front page article, says Carnival 2000 committee chair Peter Konopelky resigned amid frustration about community and corporate support.
He said only a few organizations and individuals responded to a cry from the committee to host events.
Konopelky had high hopes of a carnival to be remembered for years to come. However, committee member Phil Hayes told the Times that a carnival would go ahead.
