A year ago, we canceled Farmamerica’s January Winter Charm on the Farm because it was dangerously cold and there was hardly enough snow for snowshoeing. We’re thankful that wasn’t the case this year.
On Jan. 14, we helped kick off the Waseca Sleigh & Cutter Festival with heaps of snow piles for painting and sledding, deep snow for snowshoeing and mild temps for enjoying s’mores around the campfires of Big Scott’s logging camp.
If you missed our outdoor fun or simply want to experience it all again, mark your calendars for Saturday, Feb. 25 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Then cross your fingers with us for the perfect combination of snow and sunshine to repeat the fun of the logging camp, snowshoeing, and carriage rides that we had on Jan. 14.
