2009 - The Best Carnival Ever

It all wrapped up last night with a great bonfire, an impressive fireworks display, hot dogs, hot chocolate and amazing community spirit.

Kudos to the Carnival Committee who worked extremely hard for months in preparation and for 11 days of Carnival that they must have found exhausting.

This year's Carnival was certainly the best ever, with what had to be record turnouts for those events that can be measured that way. The children seemed to be much more involved at the field, in the dog show, at the schools, at the bingo, and at opening and closing ceremonies. There were great mounds of snow for them to play on last night, and they were there in numbers I haven't seen before.

Carol and I discovered it was a wonderful time to have visitors. We took them out to dinner just about every night. They were impressed. The comment one made, having just played bridge for a couple of hours, was that "people sure are friendly."  What else would you expect.

This is a shot to remember the Carnival by.  It's only slightly photoshopped. That's ONE shot of fireworks combined with the people on the hill watching it.

See you in 2010.
