Mendon Ponds Winterfest sees great turnout.

MENDON— Families from throughout the area braved the cold weather, Sunday, to participate in the 18th annual Winterfest at Mendon Ponds Park.

The free day of activities kicked off at 11AM, with both inside and outside events. Although some high winds and lack of snow halted some of the day’s attractions, visitors still had a chance to enjoy many other of the planned events, including horse drawn wagon rides, a live bird presentation presented by Wild Wings, and a Husky and Sled display, who were able to operate without the presence of snow.

Zebs, Kettle Korn and Papa John’s Pizza supplied refreshments for the day inside of the parks lodges, where visitors could escape the cold.

The next Winterfest has been scheduled for January 19, 2014.
