Winter Carnival 2007 Closing Weekend



Well, carnival is finally over and we had a blast!! Here's the ice castle. The highlight was definitely the parade. I was in it this year and we (Trudeau) won first prize for our float. You won't see it here but I was in an American Bandstand scene on the other side of the TV and we were dancing like mad the whole time, really had the crowd going. I even made the slide show (put on right before fireworks on Sunday night). Excuse me for gloating but I've been looking forward to this for a long time. Other highlights of the parade were the Oompa Loompa's and, of course, the Lawn Chair Ladies. We're already looking forward to next year. Our friend Gina was up for closing weekend and I'll have more photos of that to follow.

Blah, blah, blah ...

The following pictures were taken by Sally Duffy wearing 8 (count'em 8) freakin' layers. She is also the provider of good bread, much wine, and the all important Shoprite fried chicken.

Winter Carnival 2007 Opening Weekend






Our friends Sally and Robert came up for a visit during opening weekend. We watched woodsmen/women competitions, enjoyed a great fireworks display over the partially finished ice palace, and topped off a spectacular snowshoe up Dewey Mt. with an arctic bbq.
