All the little elves are excited that the winter carnival is coming. They love to wear their silver and white clothes with snowflakes decorating everything.  Even Chrystal has decorated her hair with sparkles! They are going to build ice sculptures of chipmunks wearing hats and coats, and have contests with squirrels skating on the lake.  A fox-drawn sled will carry the elves around their tiny town and in the evening they are having a bonfire and hot apple cider for all. By the way, even Cooperstown is having a winter carnival for humans and the farmer’s market will be open on Sat. Jan. 28th with all sorts of fun and festive things for the carnival. Here’s some of the elves that will attend the farmer’s market that day.  Chrystal is in the front, showing off her sparkly hair.
