Calgary weather improved just in time for a new winter festival that offered the chance to meet some holiday critters.
It all happens again Sunday, and costs five dollars to take part, with the proceeds going to charity.
"It's for a great cause," said J.P. Gerritsen of ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen."We're working with Habitat for Humanity for Southern Alberta, and collecting toys for WINS as well. So there's a positive spin to this, but it's just great to get families together for Christmas."Those sentiments were echoed by Habitat for Humanity's Jorge Torres.
"It's been a couple of years without much going on," Torres said,"so I think it was nice to have a space to have fun and bring the community together."Winter Wonderfest continues Sunday, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
