The Mill Market Site with the Bum Slides in the foreground. The Mill Market can been seen off to the right of the Boarding Hill. If you look closely, you can see the mist over the St Mary's river in the -35C morning air!
I caught this grandmother taking photos of kids on the bum slides with her phone! A hipster granny!! (hope she doens't hunt me down for that one:-o)
A first-time snow sculptor keeping warm in the falling snow workin' hard!
The team wished this fire had some real heat at times in the bitter cold! What a great sculpture!
Another great snow sculpture! What imagination these teams have!

Volunteers, including members of various local police forces and MNR Conservation Officers gave all sorts of kids rides for hours!
