January
13, 14, 15. The Republic Chamber of Commerce
is sponsoring three fun-filled days of winter events
in Republic, Washington and surrounding areas. So,
shake off your winter blahs, and come out to meet
new friends and neighbors, and celebrate winter.
Activities
begin Friday night, January 13th, with a torchlight
parade, snow sculpting,
a hay ride and more. Saturday morning
starts out with a Winterfest pancake breakfast, followed by a cross-country ski clinic, and hay and dog sled rides. Sunday brings snowmobiling at the
K-Diamond-K Guest Ranch, and dog sled rides in Republic. Most activities are free.
Remember to write it on your calendars, invite your
friends to town, and plan on participating in all
the snowy events. Cash prizes ranging from $25 to $150, made possible by donations from Kinross Gold Corp., Vaagen’s Lumber, Couse’s Sanitation, and Stott’s Construction.
