LACC Members and Friends,

Happy New Year to everyone.  It was great to see several of you at the Rotary Lights Shoot.  It was a good night until it started to rain about 8:00 PM.

Kickapoo Valley Reserve Winterfest Shoot this Saturday Jan 8th.

Many of us have attended and shot KVR Winter Festival in the past.  A great location for winter photography and winter events.  It is a wonderful family event that highlights fun winter activities.  Activities may include sledding, skiing, archery, snow sculpture, ice cave hikes, chain saw carving, wildlife talks & hikes, face painting, horse-drawn bobsled rides, snowshoe exhibit, Tri-state Malamute Club Sled Dog Race and weight pull.   Dress warm but take comfort in their warming facilities.

Activities subject to change due to weather conditions.  David Halverson our events coordinator is planning on attending provided driving conditions are favorable.  More information can be found at Winter Festival . Some event times can also be found on their facebook page.  (20+) Winter Festival | Facebook
