Most of the winter carnival fun was indoors at Ameliasburgh

A few hundred residents and visitors celebrated Family Day and Valentine’s at the fourth annual Ameliasburgh Winter Carnival.

Frigid temperatures put the ice on outdoor plans for skating and cross country skiing, but a scavenger hunt and horse-drawn wagon rides, courtesy of Scott and Amanda Carter, were popular.

The inside of the town hall was full of activities and refreshments.
