SCARBOROUGH – About 1,000 people attended the 25th annual Winterfest Celebration in Scarborough on Saturday, Jan. 25. Held on the turf field and town skating rink located between the high school and Wentworth Intermediate School.

The day featured snow sculpting contests and races in a variety of events, including speed skating, slalom skating, snowshoeing and an obstacle course.

Based on points scored in each event, the Marshall family came out on top with the “Royal Family” award, while individual Winterfest Queen honors went to Rowan Driscoll (Grades K-2), Kathleen Murphy (Grades 3-5), and Abby Roy (Grades 6-8).

Named Winterfest Kings were Ronny Hill (Grades K-2), Jack Mathews (Grades 3-5), and Nolan Mathews (Grades 6-8). Snow sculpture winners included Blake Burns (age 9 and under) for her rendition of the American Flag, and Zachary Pawlowski (age 10 and above) for his giant lizard, while the Williamsons, made up of Charlotte, 9, Cecelia, 14, and father Paul, won in the family division for their depiction of “The Sinking of the Titanic.”
