Brian Sharun’s Wintery Wonderland

For the past 23 years, Mundare area resident Brian Sharun has been creating Christmas decorations out of sheet metal.

He has more than 20 handcrafted sheet metal decorations in his front yard. Each one of them is outlined with either rope or LED lights and can be seen from miles away from Highway 16 or Highway 15 by motorists.

This year he added a snow globe, and a cowboy boot, hat, and cactus to his collection. Every year he also raises funds for charity. Some of the previous recipients have included the Stollery Children’s Hospital, STARS as well as the local food bank.

This year he is raising funds for the Mundare Fire Department to purchase a commercial pressure washer.

The first decoration he made was of a snowman. He sold it to Mundare resident Elsie Andruchow, who donated it back to him last year. Brian has already started on a couple of new decorations for next year. It is a labour of love for him and he is happy to bring some Christmas cheer to one and all.

The farm is located one mile west of Highway 16 or south of Highway 15 on Range Road 170. He plans to keep the decorations up until Ukrainian Christmas on January 7.
