Canceled: Fire & Ice

Jan. 25, 2023 Update: Fire & Ice canceled

For the safety of all, this year’s Fire & Ice winter festival has been canceled due to poor ice conditions on Parkers Lake. Despite weather forecasts predicting colder temperatures, the ice on Parkers Lake will not be able to support the event.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the medallion hunt and coloring contest. We hope to see you on the frozen Parkers Lake for Fire & Ice next year.
