7th Annual Crosslake Winterfest

The 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.
