Every year Riga Recreation partners with the Churchville Lions Club to beat the “wintertime blues” by holding an annual “WinterFest” at the Churchville Elementary School with the Lions’ “World Famous” Chicken BBQ and a free kid’s carnival in the school.
Due to the current health crisis, we were unable to hold this community event so we had to improvise. On January 31, the Lions held their BBQ at the Town of Riga Highway Department. The Riga Recreation Department held a “Who Can Build Riga’s Best Snowman/Snow Sculpture” contest during the months of January and February for its part of WinterFest 2022.
Here are the results of this second annual contest:
•The Mills & Moriarity families – Riga’s 1st for 2022
•Allie Wermuth – Penguin Girl
•Ben Wermuth – Snow Daddy
•Jade Holtz – 1st Ever Rebar Snowman
Certificates from local businesses were given to each winner. This event will be part of our WinterFest celebrations in the future.
