Festival du Voyageur is a cold, snowy, musical, drunken-sledding prairie tradition I’m so so fortunate to have joined for a few sporadic years.

If it’s cold and snowy where you are, you can make ice sculptures, too. A video link on the page shows you how.

You can even go the easy route, like I did this year, and use silicone moulds to make ice-ornaments and hang them outside. Use food coloring for extra fun.
