The Fur Rendezvous Festival held in late February or early March dates back to the early 1900s when trappers and miners came back from the wilderness to trade, socialize and compete in survival-type games. The event has been updated somewhat, and now those games consist of a weight pull, sled dog races, snowshoe softball games, ice sculpture competitions and lots more. There's also the popular Miners and Trappers costume ball, so make plans to be a part of this fun, week-long event.
As a couple, it's always good to have a lot in common.

The Center is open seven days a week, and walk-ins are welcome, so plan for some real chill time on your next romantic outing.
The kids will be in for a totally new adventure when you take them to H2Oasis Indoor Waterpark.
