Winterfest Snow Sculpture Winners!
Winterfest Weekend. Maureen accepted the prize for the creation of the large and colourful rendering of the ‘Pennywise’ character from the Stephen King movie ‘It.’ She said the family tries to do something every winter and the theme is based on something in which her grandchildren are currently interested. Other family members who helped out include Maureen’s son Randall Atlookan and her partner Chris Wemigwans.

Jessica Myers decided to create a ‘Snorlax’ and enter it into the Expositor Office’s snow sculpture competition during Winterfest Weekend. It paid off because they took third place honours for the Pokemon-inspired character. It’s laying down because, Chris said, that’s what Snoralaxs do: they are inclined to lay down across roadways and block traffic. The family dog, Luna, also smiles for the camera.
