Cenotaph Park played host to the 14th annual Lakefield Polar Fest ice sculpting competition on Saturday.

Guests attending Polar Fest can vote on their favourite ice sculpture, with the winner receiving a “people’s choice” award.
The Lil’ Chippers competition gave kids a chance to create their own ice displays for fun.
The ice sculptures will be on display for the next few weeks at Cenotaph Park — or at least as long as the weather allows.
