Looking for a fun and exciting opportunity to get outside this winter? Join O’Brien County Conservation board and sponsors Mark’s Pump Sales and Service and Paullina Hardware for Winter Funderland at Mill Creek Park on Saturday, February 5th. Winter Funderland will host a variety of fun-filled activities for all ages, both outside and indoors.
This winter event will be from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. There will be horse drawn wagon rides around Mill Creek Park, a snowball sling shot competition, opportunities to try out ice fishing and snowshoeing (snow/ice pending), create your own bird feeder or build your own snowman catapult. You can have your picture taken with Oh Brien, O’Brien County Conservation Boards new bison mascot, go on a flashlight gnome scavenger hunt, and so much more.
Winter Funderland will also host a human dog sled race starting at 3:00 p.m. Teams made up of five people, four sled pullers and one sled rider, will compete in this hilariously fun event. Participants must be ages 13+ and it is free to participate. If you would like to set-up a team, please register by calling 712-295-7200 or emailing occb@obriencounty.org with your team name, contact information, and ages of participants. Sleds and rope will be provided. Teams can register the day of the event as well, by 2:30 p.m.
