Bundle up, winter lovers, and prepare for some chilly fun in Cottage Grove. Washington County Parks is rolling out the white carpet for its annual Blizzard Bash on February 17, promising a day jam-packed with frosty activities and family fun.
Set against the snow-dusted backdrop of Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., attendees can indulge in a variety of activities. According to the official Washington County Parks announcement, the lineup includes arts and crafts, complimentary snowshoeing (though the supply is limited, so first come, first serve), and even kick-sled lessons. For those looking to thaw out, there will be a bonfire crackling throughout the day.
Don't worry about packing snacks; food trucks will be on-site to cater to all your culinary cravings amidst the winter wonderland. But remember, participation in any event requires a Parks vehicle permit. Daily permits run you $7, while the annual pass is a bargain at $30 — definitely worth considering for those who frequent the parks year-round.
Questions? Park staff are just a call or an email away at 651-430-8226 and [email protected], respectively. Interested parties can find more details on the Parks web pages, and for the latest updates, including potential weather-related changes, follow them on social media at @WashCountyParks. Don't miss out on what's shaping up to be the coolest event of the season!
