Take in a movie or two up north

It’s always a good time to visit Decorah, but next weekend is especially good. During the annual Oneota Film Festival, Feb. 29 through March 3, all kinds of family-friendly movies — features, shorts, documentaries and purely imaginative — light up screens in makeshift venues scattered throughout downtown. This year’s eclectic hosts include the historic Hotel Winneshiek, Convergence CiderWorks and Driftless Yoga Center, so, really, just take your pick.

While you’re in town, be sure to stop by the Vesterheim, the Norwegian-American museum and folk school. If the weather cooperates, hike up to the waterfall at Dunning’s Spring Park, and finish off the day with a slice of Mabe’s Pizza.
