Each and every fall, Cold Lake's favourite homegrown turkey "Ruffles," awakens from his deep summer slumber to prepare for the race of a lifetime. The Great Cold Lake Turkey Race takes place in the weeks leading up to Christmas and after doing a few jumping jacks and hammy stretches, Ruffles takes off on a grueling race to collect enough donations to purchase 400 turkeys for local families in during this year's holiday season.
