Winterfest 2012 Highlights, part 2 of 2

March 4th, 2012

More highlights from this year’s Ramsay Winterfest. You can also view Part 1.

Chasing Rockets

“Fire in the hole!” shouted the kids as Scouter Rick used science to make magic on his Rocket Table.

Who’s going to catch the rocket?

Sundae Tasty Sundae

“Let me get this straight. I can put whatever I want on my sundae? Yes, please!“

On The Ice

The pleasure rink was the place to be for families and ice sculptures.

The Game

The brave and loyal Ramsay team did their best to vanquish our neighbours from Inglewood. There’s always next year.

A Mighty Thanks

The recreation committee made a valiant effort to keep the ice in shape between the endless Chinooks this winter. To make the rink safe for our “Chinook Shinny” with Inglewood, a team of volunteers took on the disheartening task of getting rid of the ice on the rink.

Thanks to Josep, Maurice, Levi, Liam, Jesse, Ian, Willem and Ben for sacrificing homework time to help out. Shannon, Allison, Marc, Alison, Dave, and Caroline salted, smashed, and supervised.

Winterfest 2012 was awesome. See you next year!

I heart Ramsay

Winterfest 2012 Highlights, part 1 of 2

February 21st, 2012

Ramsay Winterfest 2012 was a great neighbourhood party. Here are some of the highlights.

Fresh Calzones

The day before the event, the Winterfest team got together to make delicious calzones. Wade Paterson generously donated the use of his professionally-equipped kitchen for the occasion.

 Ice Goalie

Frozen Memories provided the ice, tools and oversight for the ice sculpture contest. Their expert carver Julian started by turning this unassuming block of ice:

into a glacial guardian of the net:

Chipping Away

Then it was time for everyone to join in the ice carving fun.

Carving is Fun

Julian was impressed with the talent on display in Ramsay, including Bill Hornecker’s prize-winning ice fish:
