COLUMBIA BASIN – With last week’s winter snow came a whole lot of winter fun in the Columbia Basin. Children and families from throughout the area took advantage of the fresh-fallen powder to enjoy a little time outdoors throwing snowballs, creating snowmen and just having a good time in general. The photos included here are some of the highlights submitted by Columbia Basin Herald readers via social media. We appreciate readers sharing their memories with us and the rest of the Basin community.
Keep an eye on future editions of the CBH for more winter fun photos.
