"It was great to see hundreds of folks coming together in mid-winter to laugh, eat, sled, dance, create, and catch up around the bonfire. And if you've never seen/heard winter fireworks reflecting off snowy hills, you missed something special."

I thought Winterfest was great.  The snowfall, the cardboard box races, the children on their sleds, the band, the chili, the horse drawn carriage rides all contributed to a fantastic day. Congratulations to the Chamber of Commerce and to the LSSE for all the hard work.
