2006 Canadian Quebec Bonhomme Carnival 7-Coin Gift Set ft 25-Cent Coloured Quarter

2006 Canadian Quebec Bonhomme Carnival 7-Coin Gift Set ft 25-Cent Coloured Quarter

With a massive blanket of snow that covers the land for months on end, winter was one of the great challenges Quebec's first immigrants had to overcome. In order to escape the monotony of the dark and cold, they would get together to eat, drink and be merry. Thereafter, this popular tradition was rekindled with a snow festival to warm up the spirits - an annual gathering that grew into the third largest carnival in the world.

Every year, people from around the world gather in the City of Quebec to experience the distinctive heritage of New France in an incomparable Nordic setting.

Come celebrate!

Officiated by Bonhomme, the snowman who comes back every year to become the carnival's ambassador, the Quebec Winter Carnival has sparked a worldwide love affair.
