Published 11:06 am Wednesday, January 4, 2017

Twin Lakes State Park, 788 Twin Lakes Road, Green Bay, will hold a “Crafts by the Fire” event on Sunday from 2-3 p.m. The event will be held at the picnic shelter near the Cedar Crest Conference Center.

“During the cold winter months, nothing can whisk the blues away quite like getting cozy by the fire and working on your favorite craft,” park officials said in a statement.

“Be sure to dress warm, bring your imaginations and your questions. As we create our works of art we will swap stories of the day and enjoy s’mores by the fire. All materials will be provided. The program will offer fireplaces that will be lit during the activity.”

“Winter Wonders” will be held Saturday, 6-7 p.m. at the park.

Meet at the park office to join the fun.

“Every season brings new things to explore and see in the outdoors,” park officials said in the release. “If you can brave the cooler temperatures, winter hiking can lead to rewarding views and good family fun. Join a park ranger as we take a short walk through our closed campground to view some of our favorite trees that will be illuminated with strands of lights, and discover how important they can be.”
