Key Event Dates For Winter

While the recent 4-plus inches of snow may delay you from getting out on the main lake for a few more days, mark your calendars for the following dates: Three Mille Lacs annual events that draw thousands to the Big Pond and this year are finally on different weekends!

The 16th Annual Arctic Blast  is here February 12-13 with its blast points projected to be the same as of this writing.  This is a Minnesota Vikings Children's Fund Charity event that usually brings a whole bunch of retired players, a couple current ones.

The Perch Extravaganza held at Nitti's Hunter's Point is scheduled for February 26, 2011 from 8-2 pm.
