February 6 Winterfest Event had record turnout of 1250 people. This included US Senator Amy Klobuchar, MN Senator Lisa Fobbe, and US Fish and Wildlife Region 3 Director Tom Melius. The Senator toured the many activities including Snowshoe Hike and Bird Seed Cone making along with attending the afternoon Raptor presentation on Owls.

A beautiful winters day with occasional winds kept all in attendance moving to get to each activity. The serving of the cake celebrating the Refuges 45th Birthday was received well with lunch and silent auction in the Hospitality Tent.
