Wanted: Snow! Snow and More Snow!
Grand Rapids – This is an all points bulletin for all area residents. Be on the lookout for snow!!! It is desperately needed by January 20th, when the three weeks of Great Itasca SnowFolk Festival begins. Members of Children First!, who planned this first annual SnowFolk event, decided to go on the offensive when the temperatures started dropping and the snow started falling and make the best of what "Old Man Winter" had in store. Unfortunately that unruly "Old Man of Winter" appears to have taken this season off and has so far spoiled the hopes of our area communities building 1000 SnowFolk during the various Children First! activities planned from January 20 – February 11th.
But wait a minute----someone has spotted snow on the move by truck. You see that Grand Rapids City truck? It has just loaded up with snow made at Mt. Itasca and it was delivered to Central School and Children's Discovery Museum for some early SnowFolk to be built. Hopefully these SnowFolk will do a snow dance and we'll have plenty of snow to build "The Challenge of 1000 SnowFolk in Itasca County". If everyone joins in and does a "SNOW DANCE" and chants "LET IT SNOW" we'll hopefully have enough snow for the Great Itasca SnowFolk Festival and all the other fun snow activities we love to do in our great Northland.
Children First! planning committee members comprised of IASC Community Education, Forest History Center, Grand Itasca Clinic and Hospital, Itasca County Family YMCA, MacRostie Art Center, Grand Rapids Parks and Recreation, Grand Rapids Area, Coleraine and Nashwauk libraries, Children's Discovery Museum, Central School, Itasca Historical Society, Marcel Family Center, Itasca Orchestra and Strings, Step Ahead, Creativity Tank and Eagleview Community Center have planned fun activities for families and friends of all ages to embrace our winter and enjoy the snow. During these activities and throughout the county we are encouraging our communities to build SnowFolk. Take up the Challenge – Build 1000 SnowFolk in Itasca County during Great Itasca SnowFolk Festival!
Make sure you get out and build a SnowFolk, take a picture and post it on the Children First! Facebook page, www.facebook.comchildrenfirstitascacountyminnesota, and get your friends to "LIKE" it. You might get "bragging rights" to the most "liked" SnowFolk in Itasca County.
Check out all the fun activities Children First! has planned throughout Itasca County. Go to www.getlearning.org and click on Great Itasca SnowFolk Festival logo for a copy of the flyer or stop by the area libraries, Community Education offices, IRA Civic Center or YMCA to pick up a copy. Also become a fan of Children First! Facebook page and get updates of Children First! and Great Itasca SnowFolk Festival. www.facebook.comchildrenfirstitascacountyminnesota.
Regardless of snow, the scheduled events will go on as planned; however, snow would make them all a lot more fun. So when you wish upon that first star each night – make the wish be for Snow, Snow, and more Snow.
