Join in the fun Saturday, Jan. 27, when the 6th annual Cabin Fever Festival returns to Trout Lake. This free community-wide event promises to offer something for everyone!
Returning events include Saturday's cross-country ski race at 9:30 a.m., a guided snowshoe walk at 10 a.m. (a great opportunity to try out snowshoeing with free loaner pairs of snowshoes available), outdoor/indoor games for kids ages 4-10 beginning at 1 p.m., and the free community dinner at 5:30 p.m.
New events this year include three clinics being offered to older kids by Trout Lake High students as part of their senior project requirements. Clinic topics include fishing (12 p.m.), cheerleading (1 p.m.), and volleyball (2 p.m.). Be sure and bring your kids/grandkids over to the school for a great chance to learn and have fun practicing some new skills.
Another new event this year is a GPS clinic taught by Bill Smith of Cascade Mountain and Ropes Outdoor Adventures. This is a free opportunity to practice using a GPS with someone with years of experience.
Following the dinner, at 7 p.m., a showing of the movie "Touching the Void" will be shown. The movie documents the incredible true story of survival of two climbers during their epic journey in the Peruvian Andes. The large screen will highlight the beautiful mountain scenery of this area, and anyone interested in the outdoors will surely find the story compelling. The children's movie "Cars" will also be offered at the same time in a separate room.
The festival organizers would like to thank Marjorie Mitchell for again sharing her graphic design talents on the poster and schedule of events. Take a good look at it around town for an event that interests you.
