Spring-like weather for WinterFest ...

Although area thermometers and daytime weather conditions didn't offer much support of the name, the annual WinterFest celebration did take place in Lansing Saturday, February 18. Temperatures rising toward the 60-degree mark during the latter portion of this past week (confirmed by the LED thermometer reading pictured at right) allowed for WinterFest enthusiasts to take part in a variety of activities while donning some very "unFebruary-like" attire, such as the shorts and sandals sported by the youngsters pictured above. For additional WinterFest photos taken for The Standard by Jordyn Burroughs, see Page 5A of the print edition or e-edition. For additional spring-like weather in February... don't look too far ahead in the forecast.
