Congrès Québec
2006 Gathering
19 au 21 Mai 2006
Québec City, Québec Canada
Sunday afternoon, following a narrated tour of downtown Québec City, we were
taken to a small shopping mall where Camille Boutet, the gathering chairperson,
and his wife Claudette have their Snow Village displayed in one of the store
fronts. Their village display sits on 1,400 square feet of space and contains
290 houses, 324 lampposts, more than 900 figurines (people and animals), more
than 5,600 trees of all types: fir-trees, maple trees, birch trees, etc, 350
feet of road, 270 feet of fence, and 240 cars, motorcycles, and sleighs.
Setup of this display took 592 hours of work by two people: Camille and
Claudette.
Included in the village display tour was lunch which included home-made
finger sandwiches, salads, and cake.
Below are some photos of this incredible display.
