Some new events expected for this years party - Will keep you posted!

Hope to see you there!

New Event at Winter Fest - come learn some important outdoor winter survival skills. Participate in emergency fire-building and learn how to construct a survival shelter. Kayak Ken with Inland Seas School of Kayaking will be demonstrating these skills. If you are interested in participating please let us know.

Ice conditions are looking excellent on Lake G. and we are getting excited for next weekend. Hopefully if the weather cooperates, which right now the extended forecast looks good we will have a couple other ski planes dropping in for a visit.

Will post more this week on event times and parking locations for access to party!

Can't wait to see you there!

Winter Fest Updates

Outdoor winter survival skills with Kayak Ken â?? Learn how to start a fire and build a shelter. Ken will be demonstrating these skills throughout the party (12 pm â?? 4 pm) so stop by and see him on the ice â?? very useful information!

Access to party â?? We will be set up on the ice in front of Wyckoffâ??s on the North Arm of Lake Geneserath. The ice is thick so you can enter the party area from the public launch on the North Arm. Bathroom facilities (primitive) are available at the public launch area.

There will be lots of food (World Famous Skydogs!), guessing games with prizes, commemorative buttons (unique one of a kind design), and fun for all ages.

Hope to see you there!
