For the first time in four or five years it was actually cold enough during the annual winter carnival to have safe ice on the pond. Nobody was expecting it so the snow wasn’t cleared off and nobody brought skates!

The usual hay wagon ride was there as well as a miniscule petting zoo with two rabbits, two chickens, and two miniature horses. Thelma was one big bunny. Kids were sticking carrots into her cage but she was more interested in picking up her empty feed dish and throwing it around.

A local DJ had music blasting and off duty police and firemen were busy cooking up hot dogs.

It was pretty much a low key event but it was the first time since mid-January that was able to get out and walk a few miles.

Here are a few photos of the day.
