A day of snow and sun

While it felt like summer in most of Orange County this weekend, Aliso Viejo was a winter wonderland.

The city’s Snow Fest 2012 on Saturday drew people from all ages to enjoy about 52 tons of snow trucked in for the event.

Families came to the Grand Park in Aliso Town Center to take rides down “Grand Mountain” and the “Bunny Slope,” and the young ones enjoyed the “Snow Man Park” play area.
