Winter Fest
Gather with friends, neighbors and others to enjoy the natural wonders and beauty of the winter season. On January 31st, Minneopa State Park is holding its annual Winter Fest from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Group Campground.
Come out to enjoy an ice candle lit trail groomed for both cross-country skis and snowshoes cutting through a floodplain forest. One candle lit trail will lead down to the confluence with Minneopa Creek and the Minnesota River. A blazing bonfire along with hot cocoa and cookies will be part of this festive event.
The event will take place even if there is no snow on the ground.
Co-sponsored by the Friends of Minneopa, this nonprofit, volunteer organization of citizens strives to preserve, manage and promote the resources of this state park. For more information on this group, http://mrbdc.mnsu.edu/sites/mrbdc.mnsu.edu/files/public/org/fom/index.html
