1/16/2009 - 1/18/2009
Gather family and friends for a weekend of wintertime festivities at 2009 Winterfest: Fire & Ice at the Lake. January 16-17, Chelan will bustle with a flurry of Winterfest activities—snowmobile races, snow and ice sculpting, a torchlight parade and a spectacular fireworks show. Visitors will once again have the opportunity to ice skate at Chelan’s Riverwalk Park, and take a sleigh ride in Chelan’s historic downtown. Ten ice sculptors from throughout the Northwest will each sculpt two sculptures, creating an outdoor gallery of winter art.
The Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce is currently seeking volunteers, sponsors and participants in Winterfest activities. If you’d like get involved, please contact Jaye Payne at the Chamber at (509) 682-3503 or at events@lakechelan.com |
