PHILLIPS — WinterFest is a seasonal favorite time for many people for different reasons. Whether a snowshoer, a snowmobiler, an ice angler, a skater, or a dozen other activities, the whole aim of this flexible and evolving annual winter event is to have something for everyone, said Laura Palzkill, executive director of the Phillips Area Chamber of Commerce. The chamber has been organizing this event for years, she said, and events come and go while some have been with it all along.
“We want to be able to reach out to the whole community,” Palzkill said. “Maybe not everything appeals to everyone but the idea is to have something for everyone.”
