Celebrating 13 years of Winter Fun
It's Arctic Fever season and we are hoping for lots of snow! We don't care if it's a little cold, we know how to celebrate winter in Minnesota! Get ready!!
Saturday event update
Because of lack of snow and too much ice, Shorewood dog sled rides and Snowga will likely not take place. Snowshoeing will be replaced with Nordic hiking. At Tonka Bay, the K9 crew has been added, but fat tire bikes and snowmobiles will not take place. BUT, the ice should be great!
Snow Sculpting Melted Out
Once again we won't have snow scupting as part of Arctic Fever. The warm temperatures and lack of snow has not given us the snow we need for blocks. Keep doing your snow dance so we have plenty of snow for the dog sleds on Saturday, January 19!
Free Pizza Party and Fun Friday 5:30-7:30 pm
Free Joey Nova's pizza party, complete with samples from Excelsior Brewing. To make the night extra fun there will be an ice carver, kids crafts, a candlelight tour, photo booth and geocaching. Best part: it's all free! Bring family, friends, neighbors and anyone you think needs a fun evening out!
All Friday activities take place at Shorewood Community and Event Center, 5735 Country Club Road, Excelsior 55331 (right next to Badger Park and Shorewood city hall). No snow? The party goes on!
Princess Brunch: Final year so don't miss it!
After this year, we will change the theme a bit. There will still be an event, just something new. But, you won't want your princess (or prince) to miss brunch this year at Lord Fletcher's on Sunday, January 19. Reservations are accepted for brunch between 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. This is always a sell-out brunch. Your royalty and guests can then enjoy free activites including making a crown, face painting , royal storytime, crafts, chracter visits and beautiful harp music by Lauren Marty. All activites are free, and each child participating gets a chance to win one of two American Girl Dolls. RSVP to Lord Fletchers, 952.471.8513.
