In a surprising turn of events, the winning singer gave the monetary portion of her winnings back to Optimist Club President (and prize presenter) Chris Toner, saying she hoped that would help the Optimist Club continue to do their good work.

Snowman Visits Arnprior
Large Snowman says he likes the weather here.
-Arnprior, Friday, January 22, 2010.
A very tall visitor to Arnprior didn’t say much, but when asked, “Is it cold enough for you?” He did respond with a broad smile.
Our roving photographer caught the visitor on the corner of Elgin And Madawaska Streets, with the Town Hall in the background.
