Many of you have been asking...Will there be an ice castle this year? Unfortunately the answer is NO. The ice is not good quality this year for harvesting. We are disappointed there will not be a castle, however we very excited to tell you that there is still A LOT of things to Do and See in Spicer during Winterfest. There are a few events starting this weekend (1/16/10). The giant snow slide will be under construction. Fun for ALL ages! Did you notice the Webcam on the spicermn.com home page? It will be fun to watch the construction of the slide and all the fun being had on the slide! Also, the Spicer American Legion is having an Omeletet Breakfast on Sunday (1/17/2010) 8am to 12:30pm. Come enjoy a custom made omelette. Adults - $7.00, Age 6 to 12 - $5.00, Under age 6 - Free.
