Hamilton College will host its fourth annual winter carnival, FebFest 2003, through February 15 on the campus. FebFest will feature a snoccer tournament, snow sculpture contest, community sledding, a Battle of the Bands and Gong Show.
Hamilton's first winter carnival was held in 1938, with events such as a hockey game, dance parties, crowning of the carnival queen and a figure skating exhibition by James and Grace Maden of the U.S. Olympic Team. The carnival continued with similar events until the mid-50s, when it lost popularity. In 2000, a group of Hamilton students brought back the winter carnival in an effort to revive the long-lost tradition.
