Happy 2020! I hope everyone started out with great and safe New Year. How many made new years resolutions? I made a couple, if I go crazy on what I want to change, I won’t make it thru the week. January 3rd is designated as Festival of Sleep Day. I think that is good timing since we are all exhausted from the rushing from place to do shopping and wrapping, seeing family and

friends and still do all the normal day to day jobs that are always there. A Good nap will do us all good. The 3rd is also Humiliation Day. At first, I didn’t like that as a day, because I don’t like people being mean to others, but upon reading about the day it talks about recognizing the negativity of humiliating someone. Life is hard in some manner for everyone, so we should all be nice and maybe make someone else’s day be better.

January 4th is Spaghetti Day. We may need those carbs to give us snow shoveling energy! The 15th is Bagel Day, the 19th is Popcorn Day and the 20th is Buttercrunch and Cheese Lover Day. The 27th is Chocolate Cake Day. These all Sound like a great way to start to the year.

Now, how a bout some ideas to work off all that good food! There is an article on staying active this winter, helping us stay fit both inside and outside. Check out Winterfest in the Amanas. There are a lot of activities to choose from and they all look like fun. At the top of the kid’s events is a list of sledding and skating locations. I’m thinking the snow will start adding up soon and sledding may be on someone’s list. You could also make a snowman or a great fort with friends and family. Be sure and check out our skating and ice safety tips. Just because something looks safe, doesn’t mean it is. Be sure and be safe. Macaroni kid also has some great ideas to make eating healthier, as well as some great recipes to warm us up after being out in the cold. I am going to start off with the simmering scents and then enjoy the food!

Skogman Homes is showing us a great open concept home with a nice backyard. There is plenty of room for friends and family to make that snow fort and come in to enjoy food and company after.

If you are 50 or over and warmer weather is calling your name, give Farmers State Bank a call to see if the Connect Club has a destination trip to warm you up.

No matter what you do or where you go City Revealed wants to thank you all for your readership and hope 2020 is a great year for you all.

God Bless,

Spacious. Light. Airy. These are just a few of the adjectives that aptly describe the beautiful new “Woodbridge” floor plan design by Skogman Homes at 2954 Brookfield Drive in Marion. The home sits majestically in a quiet neighborhood off of East Robins Road and is part of Linn-Mar School district. It has four bedrooms, two and a half baths and 2275 total square feet of finished space. From

the exterior, it is richly ordained with lamp fixtures overhanging the garage, carriage door handles and black and white horizontal siding that gives it a rural feel, despite the suburban setting. As you step into the entry, the 18’ cathedral ceiling is lit with a bronze circular lighting fixture with teardrop bulbs around the perimeter. It is eye-catching, to say the least. Past the stairway to the left there is a

nook, perfect for your Christmas tree next year.

The main level opens up to the living area, with an electric fireplace on the left wall. White shiplap goes up to the ceiling above the fireplace and three windows on the far wall add to the spacious feeling of the room. A grayish tan colored plush carpet covers the living area, while engineered hardwood is installed on the rest of the main level. The finish on the flooring is matte, so that stains aren’t easily noticeable and the neutral wood tone ties the space altogether. The kitchen area has an island with

white cupboards and counters, a microwave over the stove and a huge nine-foot pantry. The pantry door is a special knotty pine of Alder wood. The island is spacious for meal planning and is lit with clear fleck-crystal canister lights. The deep sink in the center has the dishwasher on one side and trash/recycle on the other. Behind the stove is a white herringbone tile backsplash that adds depth with its angular lines. To the right off the kitchen is the drop zone/mud room, but this one has its own door - so you can close the space off from the garage entry, if necessary. Next to the mud room in the back hall, is a powder room also. Off the dining area is a sliding glass door that leads to the deck and the backyard.

The last feature on the main level - a big bonus for any young family - is the flex room, to the right, before the kitchen. Entering through the double doors, it can be used as an office, toy room or even a workout room. Heading up the stairs, the upper level is fully carpeted with lighting on the stairs going up and down. At the top of the stairs is a linen closet and the first of four bedrooms. All have ample closet space, white 5 ¼ inch baseboards and sliding closet doors. In between two of the bedrooms is a bath with dual sinks, a custom framed mirror and tile floor. There is a pocket door that separates the shower/stool from the sinks for privacy. Completing the upper level at the end of the hall is the convenience of the laundry room next to the master suite. The master closet has ample his and hers space and measures about 6 x 8. The master bath is light and airy with a textured tile floor called linen, dual sinks and a spacious shower area.

Other features in the home include a fresh air intake system that can be set to cycle automatically, a built-in humidifier, water softener system and a passive Radon mitigation.

All these amenities are sure to make your family feel comfy and cozy in your new home! For more information contact Jessie Arp @ 319.450.2989 or online @ skogmanhomes.com.

The new year is upon us and coming with it is a new plan of things to accomplish in the year ahead. For many of us that means home improvement projects. Maybe an updated kitchen or living room, maybe a new color on the walls or new flooring. Maybe you have envisioned a beautiful landscape to your yard and have no idea where to start. No matter what the project, spring will be here before you know it. Now is a great time to start planning! Over the next few months we will be giving you an array of local businesses that are at the top of their game and ready to help get you started.


There are a variety of fencing types. Chain link fence that is black vinyl coated or galvanoized is very common and great for security. Picket fences have been around for quite some time and gives that family home feel. Wrought iron is a classic style and very durable as well it matches a variety of home exteriors. As we go into 2020 though one of the trends we will see more of is the use of privacy fencing.

Privacy fencing is taller then standard fencing and is solid. Though we still love the tight-nit community feel of living close to our neighbors, with today’s smaller residential lots we sometimes feel like we are sharing our yard. The need for a little separation and privacy is becoming seen more and more. Fortunately, there is an extensive array of materials and styles in fencing to choose from to fit your needs, your style, and your budget.

We will see homes using material such as cedar or vinyl the most. Privacy fencing creates a much better barrier for noise aswell as provides a little shade and shelter from the elements such as wind and snow

drifts all while keeping our kids and pets safe.

Cedar privacy fencing has been around for quite a while and is best known for its natural look and for being long-lasting. Some maintenace to maintain the color of the cedar will likely be needed.

Vinyl fencing has been around for a few decades but is still relatively new. Though we forsee the use of vinyl fencing being used more and more. Vinyl fencing products have greatly improved and become much more durable and is virtually maintenance-free; being able to be cleaned with just a rinse of the hose. With both material options, add some swoops to your fencing for a change in style.

For the best installation of any fencing, hire a professional. A little out of level here or there can really show in the end result. For all of your fencing needs, give a local fencing company such as Novak Fence a call! They are ready to help you plan and complete your 2020 project!


Article and photography by Richard Butschi

It is considered to be the greatest car chase scene in the history of film. Orchestrated and filmed without the aid of computer enhancement in 1968, the movie “Bullitt” set the standard for all future car chases. It starred the “King of Cool”, Steve McQueen, who also owned Solar Productions that produced the movie along with Warner Bros. It won many awards, including the Oscar for Best Editing and was nominated for Best Sound. Later it was elected into the U.S. National Film Registry. McQueen considered the ‘68 Mustang GT to be one of the stars, which few could argue with as it was released by Ford as a commemorative edition in 2001, 2008-’09, and in 2019. There is also a “Bullitt” club with thousands of members world-wide, called the International Mustang Bullitt Owners Club.

Marguerite Yeutter, of Iowa City, is one of those IMBOC members. She originally was looking for a Shelby Mustang on the web, but located this Highland Green beauty in Marion in 2013. She fell so in love with the car that she became a lifetime member.

The ‘08-’09 edition came in green or black. Fog lamps were removed, along with the emblems, and it was painted in satin finish to give it a more rugged look like the original ‘68. It is said that McQueen took sandpaper to it to add that driven-hard appearance. The engine is a SOHC 4.6L V8, making 315 hp with special strut bracing with an ID number plate. A 5-speed manual transmission was the only choice available, which may have cut down on sales. The gear shifter is a “short-throw” with aluminum knob. Yeutter’s has been modified and has a black knob with “3122” inscribed. The dash is done in aluminum, with special gauges, door handles, seats and other touches. There is a cross-haired “Bullitt” medallion on the rear, near the 3.5” chrome exhaust tips.

Yeutter plans on keeping her Bullitt forever, attending local shows, cruises, cruise-ins, and the Nationals for Bullitts, which are held at various locations around the country. In 2013, she and husband, Terry Clark, took it to

Panama City, FL, for their first National Show. They’ve been to Detroit twice for the Woodward Dream Cruise and Colorado Springs once. In ‘18, they drove Rte. 66 to the Steve McQueen Car & Motorcycle Show at the Boys Republic in Chino, CA, where McQueen was once a resident in his troubled teens. It later became a charity of his and he visited often.

There were 2 identical Mustangs used in the making of the movie, They were outfitted with 390/325hp V8s and manual 4-speeds. McQueen, a race-proven driver, did some of the stunt driving in the movie. Some shots show him in the car very clearly. At other times, you could tell if McQueen was driving by noticing if the rear view mirror was tilted up out of the way, or down. If up, it was Mr. Cool, himself. The actor in the villain’s ‘68 Dodge Charger (yes, the one that is shown

losing 5 hubcaps during the chase) was actually a stunt driver friend of McQueens. He hired many of his close friends for the movie, including Bud Ekins, who jumped the imposing barbed-wire fence in The Great Escape (1963) rather than risk injury to McQueen.

Of the two original ‘68 Bullitts, one was reportedly found in Mexico in pretty sad shape. The other was sold to a Warner Bros employee, passed on to a detective in New Jersey, then on to Robert Kiernan of NJ for a mere $6,000. McQueen tried to buy it many times. It was shown with the 2019 Bullitt Edition debut at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show. Kiernan’s son, Sean, inherited the original in 2014, and has decided to sell it at the Mecum Auction, January 2-12, 2020, in Kissimmee, FL. It will cross the block on Friday, the 10th and is expected to bring about $5,000,000! Don’t forget your checkbook!

1. Some pets are better suited than others for living outdoors. There is a common misconception that dogs and cats will be “fine” if left outside. This is not true. Certain breeds, such as Huskies and Samoyeds are better suited for very cold weather. Puppies and kittens as well as older dogs and cats shouldn’t be outside no matter what type of breed they are. They just don’t have the fat, metabolism, or the full fur coat they need to stay warm when temperatures plunge.2. If your pet is primarily outside, make sure that adequate shelter is provided to shield them from wind, moisture, and cold. Make sure your pets house is well insulated but still large enough for them to be comfortable and able to move around. Several pet and feed stores carry safe heated floor mats or non-electric warm bedding to add heat into your pets house. Deeply bedded straw is another good insulator. Do not use a heat lamp or other type of home heaters though as it can be highly dangerous, and may cause a fire. If your pet is prone to chewing, do not use blankets or material that can be ingested. Cedar shavings can be irritating to the skin, so use with caution depending on your pet’s hair coat.3. Pets need to have fresh water at all times and this time of year the water can freeze easily. Make sure to check the water dish periodically throughout the day and add fresh water as needed. Heated pet bowls are a solution for frigid temperatures. These bowls are very handy to have during the cold winter months, and are usually available in stainless steel or plastic. You can find them at most pet supply vendors and feed stores. 4. Pets that live outdoors usually need additional food (calories) to sustain body temperature and maintain energy and body heat. Please check with your veterinarian to decide if your pet needs additional nutritional intake. 5. Ice can wreak havoc on our four legged friends also.

Some de-icers are toxic when ingested (when the pet licks their paws). Make

sure to rinse their feet off if your pet has walked where de-icers

have been used.

6. If your pet sleeps in the garage, be on the alert for any antifreeze leakage or antifreeze containers left out where they could spill or be chewed on. Also, do NOT start the car in a closed garage - for your safety and your pet’s safety - carbon monoxide poisoning is a silent killer.7. Like humans, pets can suffer from hypothermia and frostbite. The young and the senior pets are especially at risk. Pets with arthritis are prone to more discomfort in cold and damp environments. And remember, if it’s too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for your pet.

The new year is the time that we tell ourselves we will all eat healthier and make better choices this year. It’s the time of year when everyone’s heading to the gym, buying new fitness clothes, and making healthier food choices.

We’re here to help ... at least with the last one! Here are a few easy tips for eating healthy and healthy food swaps you can incorporate into your favorite recipes.

5 easy ideas to encourage healthy habits1. Set goals for yourself and your family: Be intentional. In most cases families who set goals together, stick to them together. Studies show that when you have someone to hold you accountable, you are more likely to meet your goal.

2. Walk more: Use an app to track your walks. Setting a specific goal to walk 33 miles a month is an easy way to walk more. We love 99 walks. Sign up for the monthly challenge now! Each month they have a theme that motivates you to keep moving!

3. Drink more water: Water is the secret to flushing the toxins out. We all know that. But the truth is we all need to be reminded. Here are a few tips to help you help the entire family drink more water:

Place a water jug right on the counter and add strawberries and cucumbers... just like a hotel! Fill a water bottle for each family member and line them up in the fridge so they are easy to grab and go!

4. Add antioxidant rich fruits and veggies to your daily

routine: We have a tower of grab-and-go fruits on our island in the kitchen. Each week we fill it with tangerines, apples (both red and green), and bananas. By the end of the week it’s always empty! We also have created a grab-and-go healthy snack section in our refrigerator. We cut up celery, peppers, and carrots. It’s a simple way to make it easy for the everyone in the family to have access to healthy foods.

5. Eat more whole grains and less sugar: We swapped out some of our everyday staples and literally cut our sugar intake by half. We swapped out Barilla Protein Pasta and our kids didn’t even know it. We also swapped out the sugary cereal for a lower sugar cereal.

5 Easy food swaps to make recipes healthierHere are five ideas for healthy food swaps you can make in your favorite recipes to make them healthier:

Replace your typical mashed potatoes recipe with half mashed cauliflower. Also use 2 percent milk instead of cream.

Use unsweetened almond milk in your smoothies.

Try homemade kale chips instead of potato chips.

Swap ground beef for ground turkey or ground chicken on taco night. Even replacing just 1/4 of the ground beef will make a difference in the fat intake!

Swap out sweet potato fries for french fries.

Fit in FitnessFollow the American Heart Association physical activity recommendations of at least 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week to improve your quality of life. Move more, with more intensity, and sit less.What if I’m recovering from a cardiac event or stroke?

Some people are afraid to exercise after a heart attack. But regular physical activity can help reduce your chances of having another heart attack.

The AHA published a statement in 2014 that doctors should prescribe exercise to stroke patients since there is strong evidence that physical activity and exercise after stroke can improve cardiovascular fitness, walking ability and upper arm strength.

If you’ve had a heart attack or stroke, talk with your doctor before starting any exercise to be sure you’re following a safe, effective physical activity program.

high-performance sportswear. Next, add a layer of fleece; finally, top with a thin waterproof layer.

Know the SignsHypothermia means the body temperature has fallen below 35 degrees Celsius or about 95 degrees Fahrenheit. It occurs when your body can’t produce enough energy to keep the internal body temperature warm enough. It can kill you.

Symptoms can include:• lack of coordination• mental confusion• slowed reactions• slurred speech• cold feet and hands• shivering• sleepiness

Children and the elderly may be at more risk because they may have limited ability to communicate or impaired mobility. Elderly people may also have lower subcutaneous fat and a diminished ability to sense temperature, so they can suffer hypothermia without knowing they’re in danger.

Stay HydratedDon’t forget to drink water when exercising in cooler weather. Thirst isn’t the best indicator that you need to drink.

Bye-Bye, Couch Potato!If the winter weather prevents you from getting outside, don’t just reach for the remote. Make your time inside count. There are many ways to get physical activity indoors—no gym required. Hand weights or resistance bands are a great addition, but not necessary. You can also wear a heavy backpack to add intensity to your workout.

Try these indoor activities:• Home workout circuit• Dancing• Active housework like vacuuming and sweeping• Mall walking• Bowling• Roller skating• Yoga or other fun group classes at your local gym, studio, or community center• Stair climbing

When winter blows in, you can pull the blankets over your head and go back to sleep—or you can suit up and head out for an outdoor winter adventure! The American Heart Association offers these tips for working out in the cold of winter.

There’s no reason you need to take a break from physical activity when the temperature drops. In fact, exercising in cooler weather has some distinct advantages over working out in warmer weather.

Tips to Keep in Mind• No heat and humidity to deal with. Winter’s chill might even make you feel awake and invigorated.

• You may be able to work out longer in cold weather—which means you can burn even more calories.

• It’s a great way to take in the sunlight (in small doses). Not only can light improve many people’s moods, it also helps you get some vitamin D.

• Exercise boosts your immunity during cold and flu season. Just a few minutes a day can help prevent simple bacterial and viral infections, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Try these outdoor activities:• Brisk walking or hiking• Jogging or running• Raking leaves• Shoveling snow• Ice skating• Sledding• Cross-country skiing• Snowshoeing

Stay Warm, Stay SafeStaying warm and dry when heading out to exercise in cold weather is all about layers. A little preparation can keep you safe from cold weather hazards like hypothermia and frostbite.

Cold temperatures, strong winds and damp conditions (like rain and snow) steal your body heat. For example, according to the National Weather Service, a 30-degree day with 30-mile-an-hour wind feels like about 15 degrees. And if you get wet (from rain, snow or perspiration) that effect is only magnified. That’s why layers of clothing are so important. They help trap the heat and form a kind of insulation against the elements.

Resist your instinct to start layering with cotton. Once cotton becomes wet with sweat or snow, the moisture is trapped and will actually make you feel colder (and heavier). For your first layer, you want something that pulls moisture away from your skin, like the moisture wicking fabrics used in


Have you ever wanted to lace up a pair of skates and get out on the ice? Now is your chance! January 12 take advantage of the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena free skating event. Admission and skate rental will be free throughout the day! Cedar Rapids Ice Arena is located at 1100 Rockford Rd SW, Cedar Rapids and open from 1-5 pm.

Here are some tips to make your time on the ice a success:Get some good skates — If you’re stepping out for the first time, then skates available at most centers will be fine. But if you get the skating bug and decide to take it up, buy a decent pair of skates that will last and most importantly, fit well and provide good support.

Tie skates the correct way — The right skates for you will not be the correct ones if they are tied incorrectly. Make sure your skates are not too tight or your feet will likely go numb, while having your skates too loose will not provide the proper support for your ankles.

Warm up slowly — Given that skating takes place generally in a cold arena, then your muscles are initially going to be cold. Prior to skating, it’s not really wise to just throw your leg over a barrier and start stretching. Stretching in a cold environment can lead to muscle tears, so wrap up well (but not as to restrict your movement) and start with some bend and work up to stretching.

Don’t look down — It’s amazing how many people starting out in skating spend all their time looking at their feet rather than in the direction they are going. Instead, keep your head up and look in front of you so at least you can see who or what you are about to collide with!

Don’t lean backwards — Leaning back will likely send you flying on your backside or worse. The best advice is to keep your knees bent and your weight forward. Hold your arms out in front of you and open them wide to help you stay balanced.

There’s no stopping you! — Naturally, one of the basics you’ll need to know is how to stop. To stop, bend your knees, turn the toes of each foot inwards, point your heels out, and push out on your heels. This will slow you down and bring you to a stop, rather than barreling into an unfortunate stranger.

Skate in the correct direction — While initially the direction you are skating may not be of your choosing, there is usually a directional rule to follow on the ice, either clockwise or vice-versa. Don’t try skating the wrong way around the ice rink as you’ll end up hurting others and quite possibly yourself.

Get some lessons — If you really want to master the basics, then taking some lessons is an absolute must. Take a few group lessons which are available at most rinks and for a variety of ages. Also take a friend along, as learning with someone will help you relax on the ice.

Make use of temporary rinks — If you are not able to get to the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena, then make the most

of the temporary ice rinks this time of year. Make sure to follow proper ice precautions! See tips on the next page for outdoor ice safety.

Don’t take it too seriously — When you fall down (and be sure you will), have a laugh about it and get right back up on your skates again. Don’t take yourself or your

skating too seriously, after all, even the best end up on their backs from time to

time. It’s even funnier if you do it in style!

So there you have it; some useful ice skating tips to get you started. Remember that

proper instruction is important, especially if you are wanting to make the step up to more advanced skating used in figure skating, ice hockey or speed skating. But if you are skating purely for fun or even skating for fitness then make sure you actually have fun on the ice, and if the worst comes to the worst, make sure you have a good friend to take down with you.


If you head out to one of Iowa’s many lakes, rivers or ponds to ice skate, ice fish, snowmobile, ATV, cross-country ski, or just to enjoy a winter day, we want you to have fun and be safe. A bit of advance planning and practicing basic ice precautions can help you return home safely. When is ice safe?There really is no sure answer, and no such thing as 100 percent safe ice. You cannot judge the strength of ice by one factor like its appearance, age, thickness, temperature or whether the ice is covered with snow. Ice strength is based on a combination of several factors, and they can vary from water body to water body. Ice strength can also vary in different areas of the same body of water.

Safety tips• Dress warmly in layers.• Don’t go alone. Head out with friends or family. Take a cell phone if available, and make sure someone knows where you are and when you are expected to return.• Know before you go. Don’t go out on the ice in areas you are not familiar with and don’t go out at night or during reduced visibility.• Avoid inlets, outlets or narrow places that may have current that can thin the ice.• Look for clear ice, which is generally stronger than ice with snow on it or bubbles in it.• Carry some basic safety gear: ice claws or picks, a cellphone in a waterproof bag or case, a life jacket and length of rope.What to do if you fall through ice If you fall through the ice, remain calm and act quickly.• Do not remove your winter clothing. Heavy clothes can trap air, which can help provide warmth and flotation. This is especially true in a snowmobile suit.• Go back toward the direction you came. That is probably where you will find the strongest ice – and what lies ahead is unknown.• Place your hands and arms on the unbroken surface.

This is where a pair of nails, sharpened screwdrivers or ice picks are handy in providing the extra traction you need to pull yourself up onto the ice.• Kick your feet and dig in your ice picks to work your way back onto the solid ice. If your clothes have trapped a lot of water, you may have to lift yourself partially out of the water on your elbows to let the water drain before starting forward.• Once back on the ice, don’t try to stand up. Lie flat until you are completely out of the water, then roll away from the hole to keep your weight spread out. This may help prevent you from breaking through again.• Get to a warm, dry, sheltered area and warm yourself up immediately. In moderate to severe cases of cold-water hypothermia, you must seek medical attention. Cold blood trapped in your extremities can come rushing back to your heart after you begin to warm up. The shock of the chilled blood may cause ventricular fibrillation leading to a heart attack and death!

Instructions for making ice claws • Get two 4” pieces of wooden doweling the size of a broom handle or a little larger. Whatever material you select, it should float in case you drop the claws while struggling.• Drive a stout nail into one end of each dowel. This should be a hardened 16 penny or larger concrete nail.• Use a file to sharpen the nail heads to a point.• Drill a hole into the dowels (in the end opposite the nail) and tie a length of strong cord through the hole so a pick is on each end “jump-rope” fashion. You may also drill a hole in the ends alongside the nails so the nail on the other pick can nest in the hole, keeping both points covered. Keep the picks in your pocket for quick emergency access if you or a companion do break through.


Break out your winter coat and join us for Winterfest in the historic Amana Colonies Saturday, January 25, 2020. There is an authentic experience waiting for all ages during this seasonal celebration; music, winter games, beard contest, 5k run, and FUN!

5K Run / WalkEmbrace the winter season with fun for the whole family! The day begins with the Amana Freezer 5k Run/Walk from Amana to East Amana. This race takes off no matter what the weather beginning in front of the Amana Furniture Shop. Both expert runners and those of us who move a little slower take part. Registration for the Freezer 5k Run/Walk begins at 8:30am with the run taking place at 10am followed by a full day of activities.

Winterfest GamesThe Winterfest Games feature the classic Winter Wreath Toss. Think of a discus throw but with a leftover Christmas Wreath. Maybe your game is strength and not technique. Try the Great Amana Ham Put, it’s just what is sounds. We’ll see who can put that Ham the farthest. Do you have great hand-eye coordination? How about launching an ice cube? This event requires you to shoot an ice cube out of your mouth. Maybe you’re a former Big League Pticher, then the Snowball Toss should be a snap for you. For teammates, we have the 2-person Log Sawing Competition. A timed event. Practice up, there have been some fast times as this event takes a team effort. The strongest doesn’t win its the duo that works best as a team. A more sedentary competition is the Best Beard Competition. You’ll want to start growing your beard now for that one.

Events for the KiddosIf you’re looking for a little family competition head over to the Festhalle Barn where you’ll find a 9 hole mini golf

course. It’s a lot of fun as each hole is designed by a different business. You can compete with your family members or just putt around for fun. Or, Ice Fishing. Not the kind that you see on the lakes of Minnesota but on dry land. They’ll cast their line and see what prize bites on the other end.

Wine & Beer WalkFrom 11am-4pm one of the mainstays of Winterfest takes place. It’s the annual Winterfest Wine and Beer Walk. Purchase a punch card for a very small fee then travel to each winery and our brewery for a sample. Once you’ve completed the walk turn your punch card in for a great Winterfest logo Wine Glass.

Wine and DineThat evening enjoy a fantastic 5 course food and wine pairing meal at “Wine and Dine” at the Ox Yoke Inn. You’ll have appetizers and wine followed by 4 more courses paired with wine for each course along with an introduction and stories about each course and the Amana Colonies. It’s a great event with plenty of award winning wine from White Cross Cellars. We suggest you make lodging reservations in the Colonies.

Music + DancingIf you are more into music head over to Millstream Brau Haus for the Snowball Dance. Music, food, and beer. Sounds like fun! No charge for the band. Dinner will be available at an additional cost.Of course, all of the shops are open for you to browse and many have special events, demonstrations, or product specials so you’ll want to check that out.

Winterfest is a great way to warm up the season with a trip to the Colonies. Come join us!For more information and full schedule visit festivalsinamana.com.
