The evening began at 6:30 p.m. with a potluck supper. St. James, Seaforth, were host for the evening, with president Marg Smale as MC for the program. Hu- ron -Perth Regional Rep Theresa Larkin and diocesan executive Mu- riel Murphy delivered greetings from the diocesan level. Entertainment for the evening was provided by five councils. St. Columban presented a funny skit about a "typical" nomination com- mittee meeting where no one vol- unteers to stand for office, to the re- frain of "let Somebody Else do it!" A member from St. Joseph's Strat- ford, gave a hilarious reading about a misunderstanding betw^en a lady inquiring about camp Jund facili- ties and the owners reply. Does B.C. mean bedside commode or Baptist Church? A trio from Im- maculate Conception, Stratford helped everyone work off their din- ners with several rousing action/ songs, accompanied by two gui- tars. Immaculate Heart of Mary, Grand Bend offered a program of operetta solos on the themes of love and romance for Valentine's day, from Not Since Ninevah: and "April Love" to the hilarious "I Can't Say No" from Oklahoma. Roberta Walker was soloist, ac- companied by Paul Dietrich. St. Peter's Godcrich did a very funny skit lampooning several well known regional and local execu- tives, with a special roast of past regional rep Marjorie Skinner. About 200 door prizes were drawn during the evening, and a time of fellowship shared over re- freshments. Several councils also shared buses to drive to Seaforth, as some of the 24 parish councils come from quite a distance. Valentine's Grand Bend Snow sculpting winners By Roberta Walker GRAND BEND - The village of Grand Bend played host to the Onta- rio International Snow Sculpting Competition during Winter Carni- val. Chairman Dave Sheppard had a special guest for the event, Gene Kempfer, Executive Director of the U.S. International Competition held each year in Milwaukee, Wis- consin. Kempfer was so impressed with the quality of the competition and the overall organization of the event he offered a permanent slot to the winner of the Grand Bend Snow Sculpting competition. This would mean this years win- ner automatically gets the opportu- nity to enter the U.S. international event next year in Milwaukee, held at the end of January. Grand Bend has participated for the last three years, but had to submit an entry and try out for the few spaces allot- ted. Now it will become part of the first prize each year. This is an im- portant step in recognition of the high standards set for the competi- tion here in Grand Bend. Of the six snow sculptures com- pleted, the winners for 1991 were Grafiks of Sarnia, the team made up of Captain Vicki Rogers, Scott Horsburgh and Paul Sorreson. They won the trophy and $1000 for a striking sculpture of an Innuit hunt- er pulling a fish out of the ice. The sculpture echoed the theme of har- mony between man and his envi- ronment. This impressive sculpture qualifies them to compete in Wis- consin next year. Second prize, $500 and a trophy went to the London team of Barry Richmond, Ray Burnell and Cap- tain Chuck Culp for a huge, finely detailed frog on lily pad. It had a fly on its nose, and even had raised spots on its back. This team won last year. The People's Choice Award went to Captain Jim Ver- gunst, Diane Robb and Steve Floin for a stylized figure with a globe on its knee, "Mother Earth." Grand Bend local team of John Maychos, Cam Haist and Rick Ku - ley sculpted a geometric design of stairs and a half circle, with harmo- ny in shapes.

Trish Lamont crafted a stone lam - post and wall, partly enclosed in a huge ball, all worked in fine detail to look like real limestone.
