Chill out in the Amana Colonies

Embrace the cold during the annual Winterfest this Saturday in the Amana Colonies, with activities in and around the Market Barn and local businesses. Visitors can watch a local chainsaw artist create an ice sculpture live and up close (but not too close!) and play some winter carnival games.

Warm up with various competitive events like a ham-put, wreath toss, and the Freezer 5K fun run. The Amana Volunteer Fire Department will also be on hand with open fire chili to chase away the cold.
