The first event to kick off the year-long Shawville 150 celebrations, The Fish Findlay Classic Community Winter Carnival was held in Shawville last weekend. The events kicked off with sledding, a bonfire and free hot chocolate at the Shawville RA. Pictured: Kids getting driven up the hill at the Shawville RA with their sleds.
Free hotdogs were given out outside the municipal garage in Shawville during the carnival. A ball hockey and broom ball tournament was supposed to held in the Curling Club parking lot, but the lack of teams signing up caused those to be cancelled.

A Valentines Day tea was held at the Shawville United Church. The event was hosted by the Shawville United Church Women and, while it was not officially part of the 150 carnival, it saw the biggest turnout by far of the days activities in Shawville.
