Dundas Valley Sunrise News

On a very cold winter day, Dundas Valley Sunrise Rotary Club held its annual winter carnival. This year, along with music, hot cider, horse drawn wagon rides, power skating and figure skating demonstrations, ice sculpture Yen from Iceculture Inc. worked his magic on 900 lbs of ice blocks.

 

With plenty of free use ice skates available, everyone was able to skate, even if it was something new to them.  Joan Ballantyne provided the music, along with singer Mike Cook. Of course, Robear, the club’s rink mascot was there to entertain skaters, young and old.

 

Rotary club community service director Bill Armstrong took the opportunity to present $400 to Scott Vance from the Dundas Figure Skating Club.  Skate Canada Dundas Skating Club figure skaters and power skaters entertained the audience with demonstrations of their skills.

 

The winter carnival is held each year on the Family Day weekend and provides a free afternoon for families to enjoy Canada’s national winter pass-time.
