Sled dogs, crafts and roasting marshmallows highlight of Bartlett Winterfest

Attendees packed a not-so-frosty Winterfest Saturday in Bartlett despite the lack of snowy weather or the elements of a typical winter wonderland.

They roasted marshmallows by a roaring fire as others gathered to complete winter crafts.

The event, held in partnership with Adopt A Husky, gave the public a chance to interact, meet and learn about the sled dogs and watch the huskies in action as they mushed a milelong trail.
