2011 Luck Winter Carnival

Last weekend was the Luck Winter Carnival so I was in Luck all weekend.

It started out Friday night with the Queen Pageant.  Five girls were in competition for the title of Miss Luck.

They are judged on talent, formal presentation, interview and an on stage question.

All of the contestants did a good job and look stunning in their formals.

The outgoing queen and her court were also dressed in beautiful gowns.

A Little Miss Luck is also crowned at the pageant.  This contest is a random drawing of a name.

Last year, my great niece Emily was Little Miss Luck.  She had a busy year of riding the float in the parades with the older girls and Little Luck Princess Addy.  The two young girls did a nice job and all of the 2010 court did a nice job of representing Luck.

Emily and Addy gave very nice thank you speeches as part of this year's pageant.  

Quite impressive for those young 10 year olds.

On Saturday, the 28th Annual Alumni Basketball Tournament was held.

Once again, Glenn was the oldest player.  He was on the same team with Kyle, so it was fun watching nephew and uncle play.

Glenn is guarding cousin, Ronnie.  Kyle is #4.

Saturday night Lois and I went with Kyle downtown for a little socializing.  It was fun to see some folks that I don't see often or have not seen in years.

Sunday was a nice day, the best of the winter.

Gus had his ice fishing hut out on Big Butternut Lake in front of Kyle's house.

There was a fishing contest, but better yet there were tacos to eat.

Stella and Gage built 2 snowmen, Jack went to the house and got scarves for them.

There were quite stylish.

Stella was helping Gus try to catch a fish.

The day was so nice, the sun felt warm and it was peaceful on the lake.  Kyle's boys were pulling each other on a sled behind the snowmobile.   I had to try it. 

Gage driving, me riding.  I survived and it was a hoot!

It was a good weekend.

The ice palace was just beautiful.
