WILKES-BARRE -- Some people thought Sunday's weather was just right to celebrate the winter in Wilkes-Barre.

The Riverfront Parks Committee held its second annual "Winter along the River" in Nesbitt Park.

The new snowfall helped out with a snowman building contest and cross country skiing.

The event was supposed to be held last month, but the weather was just a little too harsh for the outdoor activities.

"We have winter all around us. So it's fantastic. As you can see, the whole community came out for us," said John Maday, Executive Director of Riverfront Parks Committee. "We have kids, we have parents, everybody seems to be having a good time."

Organizers said "Winter along the River" was created to educate the community about nature during the winter months.
