The Hamilton Winterfest is a fantastic annual włnter festiyal. It is held at the beginning of February for three days to celebrate the fun you can have during włnter. When I was younger. we used to go almost every year.

Preparatlons start several months before the festival. Many people work hard to organise the various contests, games and dances. Volunteers work for months making surę that cełebrity guests are booked, prizes are donated. enough food is prepared and that all the festiyal areas are ready.

The last time I went to Winterfest, I had a great time. I had a delicious Pancake Breakfast with the Winterfest Mascots. I watched beautiful and humorous scenes being created in the Family Snów Sculpture Contest My brother and I even took part in the Snowman Building Contest Unfórtunately. we didn't win. It was exciting to watch the cełebrity hockey gamę and meet some of my heroes face to face. On the last mght we went on a wonderful sleigh ride through the park.

Hamilton Winterfest is entertaining and a lot of fun. It isa great opportunity to spend time with the family and the best way ever to beat those mid-winter blues.
