Hundreds took part in the SOAR Film Fest held in Sudbury this weekend.
Executive Director Simond Widdifield says over 800 people attended the four-day event with 88 taking in the opening with Kielyn Marrone, survivalist and co-operator of Lure of the North in the Espanola area.
She says SOAR 2025 was a resounding success with people attending from as far away as Sault Ste. Marie and left feeling inspired for their next adventure!
In all, 25 films featuring the natural beauty of Earth and unique natural perspectives from around the globe.
Espanola’s own Mike and Kathy Carre won the weekend package from 99.3 – The Moose, stating the films were powerful and it was a truly unique experience for the couple.
They add they will take it all in again saying the film fest was a truly unique experience.
