Brimley State Park, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, is hosting a "GO-Get Outdoors" Winter Wonderland festival on Saturday,
Feb. 13, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Lake Superior Recreation Club will be on-hand at the park's picnic shelter to assist in a number of games, such as snowshoe disc golf and a snowman building contest. Games may vary depending on the snow conditions. Visitors can also expect some warm refreshments and a roaring fire at the park's day use shelter. There will also be a raffle drawing for those interested, with prizes from Tubbs Snowshoes, a market leader in snowshoes, and Moosejaw, a clothing supplier.
This winter wonderland event will also include a snowshoe making class. Cost is $130 for the snowshoe making kit, but it does not include the harness. The class is limited, so contact the park at 906-248-3422 to make a reservation for this class.
