Clear sledding in Whitehouse

Grace Snyder, 17, left, screams as she barrels down the sledding hill in her family’s homemade cardboard sled with Seth Sperling, 18, center left, Brittany Bostdorff, 13, center right, and Gabe Vela, 13, during Saturday’s Whitehouse Winterfest in Whitehouse. The annual event featured carriage rides, snow sculptures, the Flakiest Family contest, a chili cook-off, and cardboard sled races. A parade kicked off the festivities at 10:30 a.m. and the day concluded with an evening Snow Ball Dance.
