the HER ALP Home Newspaper of Hills Paget TflF UNO A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Jill Main It Ontario 1 JU1 J- Publisher lll tDITOH Snow shows promise for the future Winter carnivals staged this past weekend by the Acton Legion and the Norval Community Association fared better weather wise than the February Halton Hills but that the only difference separating the towns firsrannual snow show from those longer established smaller scale events held elsewhere organizers most notably the town own recreation department and the Georgetown Jaycees ore to be commended for working hard against un predictable odds to mount a series of entertaining and invigorating activities which even after half the schedule was chopped due to a shortage of snow combined to make worthwhile and successful Absent in the midst of all the fun however was the kind of community spirit and togetherness that all but dominates the smaller winter carnivals run by specific portions of the Halton Hills population Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion has been operating its family day winter carnival for several years now and despite the fiercely cold wind across trozen Fairy Lake plenty of people forgot the temperature long enough to skate ski snowmobile rule in horse drawn sleighs and just like those Ontario tourism commercials say make fun of winter The scene was much the same Saturday at s winter carnival held both inside and outside the community centre Though the bulk of the scheduled events were geared to the interests of the many youngsters on hand the adults had a ball too dividing their time between watching or supervising the kids fun and warming up with a hot chocolate inside the school It different to speculate whether sufficient snow might have drawn out the crowds to the Halton Hills Wmterfcst three weeks ago and thus nurtured the kind of common bond which this own lacks because of its geographical expansiveness and shortage of community type events Residents of Halton Hills unfortunately have few town wide events which would bring them together for an afternoon perhaps pitting versus their neighbors from Georgetown or better still combining residents from both communities with friends from Esquesing on ac teams for the competitive events which make winter car fun To envision such well attended festivities bringing residents together from across town on an annual basis is not being unrealistic as such has been termed a success despite its costly rescheduling limited turnout and shortened format Consider the potential for the future when weather conditions are right and organizers can conduct a thorough focused promotional campaign aimed at encouraging residents from all parts of town to attend if only as a challenge to themselves and their fellow townspeople We wouldn go so far as to suggest that residents and Acton Legionnaires should abandon their own carnivals share the fun with us but amalgamation in this sense is an idea worth considering No matter how much we enjoy our small annual get togethers with neigh bors let s all get behind the town next winter for one big snow show that will finally make some
