Wiarton Willie Festival

Today we decided to take a trip to Wiarton to take in some of the festivities of the 57th Wiarton Willie Festival. We missed most of the activities as they all happened on Saturday February 2nd, due to another significant snow fall in the area and driving was not the smart thing to do. We did not see Willie as he had returned to his burrow to await spring. We did go into the big Willie tent and sampled the local talent and saw lots of child oriented activities. Below are some photos we took of ice sculptures and a photo of us with Willie.

Winter wonderland at MacGregor

We arrived Friday around 3pm to find a fair bit of snow on the ground and more was in the air all around us. The park did not have many of the winter warriors on site but many of the yurts were occupied and a few brave souls were in tents.
