2-12-17 A Day at Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center
Sunday was the annual Sleigh & Ski Festival at Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center which is right next door to the resort. The day starts out with a bowl of awesome chili made by Vicky Vogt and great entertainment. 
While we were eating we listened to the Cedar Creek Gospel Band.

Last summer there was a Smithsonian Display at Prairie Woods about water. Some of our historical pictures were used for their display and are still on display now.
There wasn’t much snow for the festival this year, but everyone had a good time. We’re all looking forward to going to the Sleigh & Ski Festival in February, 2018!
Our next trip to Prairie Woods will be for their Earth Day Celebration on April 22nd, 2017. Join us!
