Gauge Looya and JR Ratliff didn't let the rain stop them from sledding at the Wild Coyote Winter Festival on Saturday.
It didn't feel like winter for the kids that attended the fifth annual Wild Coyote Winter Festival last Saturday. Rain and warm temperatures melted most of the snow. The ice sculpture volcano had melted, but enough snow was still piled for sledding.
Manager Karen Fergeson said they normally have the event the third week in January. "There wasn't enough snow for it then. Last year we had a big snowman and ice sculpture."
Anita Brown conducted the hot chocolate and hot dog stand outside. "This is my first year working the fest. Last year it was sunny and there was a ton of snow. The hay rides were going and there were a lot of people." She had over 200 hot dogs cooked on the grill Saturday. About six kids showed up to go sledding and possibly go on a hayride.
