On Saturday Jan. 27, Memorial Park will be busy. From 11 a.m.-1 p.m. there will be sledding, snow painting, ice skating and ice-skating lessons, plus hot cocoa and cookies for all ages. The St. Cloud Figure Skating club will coordinate and teach ice-skating activities.
On that same day, Saturday festivities will continue for adults from 3-6 p.m. with a Game Crawl. A $5 punch card can be purchased, and each card will be punched at four participating downtown St. Joseph businesses: The Middy, The Bad Habit Brewing Co., Sal’s Bar and La Playette Bar.
