Janice Lally won our I HATE WINTER contest with her decision to dress for the south and head north – on Baldoon Road – to stick out a thumb and seek a ride to Cuba.
The photo was taken across the road from Our Lady of Fatima School. The wind has a tendency to whip right through there, so Janice was especially brave.
She popped into the office this week to collect her prize haul.
We also decided to hand out two honourable mentions.
The first is to Dawne Mudford for her cute picture of a horse having a face to face with Old Man Winter.
The second goes to Evelyn Baker, whose clothing jumped collectively into a snow bank and gave up!
A selection of other entrants are available for perusal below.
James Pollock of Chatham is just plain tired of winter. Very punny, James.
Chatham’s Harvey McKay says constantly shovelling his driveway has left him parched.
Paco Loco the dog isn’t doing his ostrich impression over winter, but rather he’s just looking for solid ground as owner Carmen McCauley just hopes he’d dig out the driveway.
Nicole Couture has had enough of winter. She’s so tired of scraping snow and frost off her car she went berserk last week, mangling her scraper.
“I’ve had it with this shih tzu, and I’m not talking about my brother,” one of Bob Borroman’s pooches was overheard barking recently.
The Little family in Chatham wants to blow up everything associated with this winter!
Richard Sprigg would rather be on a beach in Bora Bora than deal with another snowstorm here in Chatham-Kent.
John Tew of Dresden makes yet another pass along his walkway this winter with his snowblower. This time, he chewed up drifts that were more than two feet high.
Chatham Voice sales rep Chris Courtice wasn’t eligible to win our contest, but he gets full points for his silly sense of humour. The steak looks particularly delicious, by the way, Chris.
Thank you to "The Chatham Voice" for running the photo contest, it was good fun. And coming in First Place and winning all that loot was a bonus. Thank you to Dowler Karn, Casa Bella, Schinkel's, Battery Boy, Better Bodies Tanning and the Blenheim Community Golf Club for their generosity. I am already enjoying some of these gifts as we speak. AND cheers to an early Spring !!!
