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.
