Winterfest 2015

Today is Winterfest 2015 and the 400 Block is packed with happy people. There is a ton of great stuff to do inside and out. Winterfest is put on each year by Wausau Events. Here is how they describe it:

"Located throughout downtown, our fourth annual Winter Fest offers a day of activities for the entire family, including: Horse-drawn wagon rides, art projects, cookie decorating, a snow sculpture slide, ice-skating, and more! Our detailed maps will show you where to find the fun.
You’ll surely be hungry, so join us for the Mac-N-Cheese Competition in the Great, featuring 5 local restaurants and live music throughout the day. (Proceeds go to Wausau Events, Inc. to continue great events all year!)"
Other participating organizations include The Center for Visual Arts and Wausau Curling  and Peoples State Bank, Wausau All of this cool stuff is happening right across the street from Hazel Home Art and Antiques.

Here is the popular snow slide that will be here until spring.
