Thanks to your help, I've got most of the details down for the 12th Annual Celebration of Winter. It's a 2 part event - and of course has a way to "give back" to others. You can come to part one, part two, or both!
Part one:
When: Monday, February 15th from 4:30 - 5:30pm.
Where: Meet at the Wirth Park Beach House parking lot.
Who - You and your friends/family/partner/kids/neighbors/etc.
What: Playing outside! Bring skis, snowshoes, sleds, bikes, boots, or anything you want. We'll have an hour to play! Some folks may want to walk or run, that's fine! Others may want to ski or bike. That's fine too. I think my mom wants to build a snow fort! We don't all have to do the same thing - we just have to be outside for an hour and have some fun!
Part Two:
When: Monday, February 15th from 5: 30pm to whenever.
Where: Victory 44 - a few miles up the road from the park.
Who - Same as above.
What: Enjoy happy hour prices on food and drinks. Get to know one another, reconnect with old friends, and celebrate winter!
Bonus! Feel free to bring non-perishable food items to donate. I haven't figured out which food shelf to bring stuff to yet, but will know by the day of the party. You can also donate to the Midway Y (http://give.ymcatwincities.org/ashashoffner2016) to help pay for memberships so that young people, old people and everyone in between can experience the amazingness of the Y.
Holler if you have questions!
