Cold Celebration
SAXONBURG — A chill was in the air and even some snow was on the ground — a perfect setting for Saxonburg’s Winterfest.
The event, which was noon to 7 p.m. Saturday, attracted crowds looking to beat the wintertime blues.
Food, craft and clothes vendors lined Main Street, free carriage rides were offered, chainsaw ice carvings were sculpted, and many people, especially children, spent time at a petting zoo, courtesy of Little Blessings Farm and Mobile Petting Zoo of Avonmore.
“Considering we had just six weeks to put it together, I couldn’t have asked for it to turn out any better,” said Miranda Virone, owner of Blue Jar Candle Co., 231 W. Main St., and one of the event’s organizers. “I was pleasantly surprised when I woke up today to see some snow on the ground. It was like a touch of magic.”
