"The Frosty Festival is just one huge community event and I feel it’s just part of what Mount Pearl is and what Mount Pearl represents and it just represents community…it was an experience that involved everybody, so whether you're a child, a teenager, you’re a young adult or a senior citizen there was something for you. It started that way and to this very day it’s still the same way. There’s something for everyone”. - Stephanie Collins, 2020
