They are not letting winter slow them down, are they. Sounds like great fun.
If done in Frankfort, it's done right too. Great town! I doubt we get the winters that you do though!! Brrrrrr ...

Ice. Snow. Sounds so wintery. Would you believe we've had only 1 or 2 days of rain all of fall and part of winter? Must be making up for last year, when that's ALL we had!
I hear ya, Karen. It's been an odd winter for us here in Chicagoland too. Just a few flakes here and there. Nothing mounting up. Hopefully Mother Nature plays along for these festivities in Frankfort. Enough cold and snow to have fun, but not be dangerous ...

Gene -- What a fantastic localism post for Frankfort IL. Nice to know there are so many great things to get people out of their homes and enjoy something other than TV. Hope you get to go to a lot of the events.
Barbara: Frankfort is very close to the town my wife and I grew-up in ... so we're hoping to get to take part in the festivities. I'd love to see the 3 on 3 hockey! I appreciate your kind words ... and hope you get to enjoy some winter activities near your home too
