Winterfest at Green Lake should provide a unique atmosphere for this winter version of the Gathering. There is a full social schedule with plenty of food and entertainment. We have procured a special kiter rate of $39.95 per room at the Super 8 in nearby Wilmar. The phone # is 320-235-4444.

With the Festival, parking on land may be limited. You can access the lake by a ramp just north (left) of the Ice Castle, then drive around the snowfence and park on the shoreline in front of Melvin's. There is a Frozen 5K Run/Walk starting at 9:00 Saturday morning, so we will have an event meeting at 10:30 on the deck at Melvin's. For those in the competitive frame of mind, we will hold a Snowkite Enduro with a $300 purse in the afternoon, registration fee of $20.

Easiest directions coming from the Cities are west on Hwy 12 to Kandiyohi and take a left on Co.Rd. 8. It will come to a 'T' at Green Lake and Melvin's is less than a mile to the left. We have included a social agenda below. For more info, contact us at fleet-8@juno.com.

Anyone know the surface conditions on Green Lake? Space is limited of what sticks to bring to ride on.

looks like 11knots for today.. should be good for some races.

the lake looks good (from the pics that mike took) but it is crusty.. looks like there will be good edge for boarders.
