| Description: | Master 60 Part 1 Same as catalog # 91432 Winter festival in Canada. Three dog sled teams make their way down a snowy, winding hill to a LS of a team driving down a snowy field in front of three large docked paddle boats. Switch to a card dealer in 1890's bowler hat. CU of the wagers on the table. CU of an antique roulette wheel. CU of woman in 1890's earrings and hat watching the roulette wheel stop, she jumps up and down at winning. Asimilarly dressed woman kicks a bowler hat off her foot. Switch to a dozen snowshoe racers. They trudge along until a very tired woman crosses finish line. Switch to a baseball game in the snow with an abnormally large, dark ball. One man runs attempts to run the bases in snowshoes while fielders try to grab the ball. They horse around until one man grabs another's snowshoe and trips him up. Back to the card game as an 1890's crowd whoops it up at the card table. Switch to a contest between men attempting to carry extremely heavy packs. One man trudges along fairly well while a Kris Kringle-ish man in long beard and racoon coat applauds. The first man successfully carries his load to a waiting pick-up truck, while two other men crumple under the strain and fall.
