|  7th Annual Crosslake WinterfestThe seventh annual Crosslake Winterfest drew hundreds of residents and visitors to the area to take part in many winter themed activities on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 6-7. The Winterfest Medallion was found late Saturday afternoon by Jimmy Martin of Crosslake. Martin’s find earned him a large gift basket loaded with gift certificates and prizes from local merchants and restaurants. The cash value of the prizes in the basket was valued at $675. The event kicked off at the Crosslake Community School’s Cabin Fever that featured an Art and Bake Sale and other family oriented activities.

Combined with land already owned by the county, more than three quarters of the lake’s shoreline is now preserved. The Cass County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously late last year to accept the land, which is located near the town of Outing in the southeastern corner of Cass County. The township also voted in favor of the county accepting the donation. The property, which was recently transferred to Cass County, includes a mature black spruce bog that is considered in excellent condition, a regenerating aspen forest and stands of halfcentury old red pine trees, all of which provide wildlife habitat.
