Winter events slated in North Woods
The North Woods is recognized across
the Midwest as a winter recreation paradise, offering snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, snowshoeing and
more.
Besides the many outdoor activities,
communities and organizations plan
events as an added attraction to this winter wonderland. The events range from
sled-dog races and snowmobile derbies to
ice fishing contests and hockey games.
Most of the activities include fun for the
entire family, plus plenty of food and refreshments.
The following list of activities was compiled by the Vilas County Advertising Department. There also are several Three
Lakes and Sugar Camp events included in
the list. Those planning to attend the
events should call local chambers of commerce or information bureaus to confirm
dates and times, as dates may change
without notice.
Some of the events are explained in
