Dartmouth Winter Carnival Hanover, New Hampshire



In early February Dave went to Dartmouth's annual winter carnival with our son in law, Zach and Zach's dad, Bill. Zach is a Dartmouth graduate and attends the carnival every few years. It is quite an event, many things going on and lots of things for children to do. They enjoyed the ice sculptures (cupcake), hockey, and of course visiting several restaurants. Dave was completely taken by the library. If we lived anywhere nearby, he'd be over there all the time. One of the sillier, things from our aged point of view, was the polar bear swim. College students don their bathing suits and jump into a VERY COLD pond of water. They have an EMT nearby and they put ropes around their waists to pull them back in case of a problem of some kind. Ah youth!
