A Man from Steinbach took his snow carving skills and applied them to a cheese carving competition on Sunday.

Lyle Peters took part in the cheese carving competition at the Festival du Voyageur and says this is something that is totally new to him noting he only knew he was taking part just days before the competition. Peters often carves a snow sculpture for the Festival Park and adds he enjoys taking part in the event.

"It's always fun to work with other people that do the same thing, that's the most appealing to me."

Peters says it's also neat to be carving cheese that is from the area adding the cheese for the competition came from Bothwell Cheese.
