The Old Forge Winter Carnival on February 14, 15 and 16 featured a parade up Main Street, ice skating, and various other outdoor family activities and competitions at McCauley Mountain.
This year’s king and queen, Tim and Patty Foley, were crowned at a coronation ceremony on Saturday night that was preceded by torchlight and daredevil skiing.
A fireworks display, music by Joe Bolton and John Christy, and dancing at the McCauley Chalet followed.
The festivities wrapped up on Sunday afternoon with Cardboard Sled Races sponsored by the Town of Webb School Junior Class, the 60th annual Snowflake Derby, and Irish music provided by The Blarney Rebel Band.
