Grand Bend Winter Carnival takes on the "Wild West"
Above, Exeter sisters Abbey, left, and Mackenzie Ansems were part of a large crowd of chil-
dren (and adults) who went tobogganing Sunday afternoon.
The annual Grand Bend Winter Carnival kicked off last weekend, with
the theme "Benguin Goes Wild West?' Western -themed ice sculptures
were carved throughout the village and there were a variety of activities
to help celebrate the snow.Above, John and Indra Hamilton of Grand
Bend take a toboggan ride at Oakwood Sunday afternoon, while below,

ings at the carnival for over a decade.
