Sherbrooke Carnival Feb 27th

Enjoyed the local carnval. Lots of activities, ice wall climbing, zip-line, dogslide rides, horse and sleigh rides.  Venders offering up hot apple juice to keep you warm, firepits to roast a marshmellow,  maple syrup drenched mini donutes heated over a fire(Yum). Great Quebecois style entertainment.  And snow scupltures.  There was an area for familes to pack their own snow in barrel like devices to make their own snow scupltures.  Like watching families at the beach making sand castles, except with snow.

The weather was very nice (plus 4 degrees) which made walking difficult because of the slush.  Unfortunately, at least one snow sculpture collapsed. 

As you  view the slideshow please note that early on we are showing sculptures still in the construction stage.  We went back in the evening to get more complete photos.

There is a field where families could build their own sculptures.  Early in the slideshow you will see a few sculptures.  The very last slide is that same field later in the evening.  It was covered with sculptures.

Hope you enjoy the slideshow.
