Winterfest is our annual celebration of winter! We will have activities for all ages throughout the day, beginning with the Amana Freezer 5K Run/Walk at 8:30 a.m. and ending with the Snowball Dance from 5-9 at Millstream Brau Haus.

Contests will be held between 11-1, and include the ham put (shot put using a ham), log sawing, a pork chop slap shot on the ice rink, wreath tossing and nail driving. And you won't want to miss the infinitely quirky Best Beard competition at 1:00, featuring some of the most amazing facial hair in the region. If you think you have got what it takes for any of the competitions, you can sign up at Winterfest. Outdoor activities are dog-friendly.

Slip and slide on our small ice rink, fish for prizes or play mini golf in Festhalle, an historic dairy barn used for special events. Local businesses will also have many special activities, including a wine and beer walk and a scavenger hunt.
