At their November and December meetings, the PRC reviewed activities for Vinterfest 2013 and
discussed dates and times.

is included in your packet. For 2013, Vinterfest would be on Saturday, February 2, 2013 from 1-
4pm, consistent with previous years.
Activities will include a snow sculpture contest, sledding,bake sale and local vendors, ice skating
and a bonfire.
After the December 3`d PRC meeting, staff was contacted by Pam Portz, director of the local
clogging group The Pleasant Valley Cloggers, inquiring about performing at Vinterfest. Their group
is a non-profit clogging(Dance)performance team of all ages. They dance a variety of family
friendly songs. They do not charge for performing- only ask for donations when possible. They
have clogged for the Scandia Taco Daze in the past along with many other local events including
Karl Oscar Days,TF Lighting Festival, Chisago Co. Fair, etc. Staff informed her the request will be
brought before the PRC at their January meeting.
