ISTORIC CEDARBURG,
just 20 minutes north
of Milwaukee, kicks off the
2016 festival season with the
perfect antidote for cabin fe-
ver – the 42nd Annual Winter

This year's theme for the
popular festival, Saturday,
Feb. 20 and Sunday, Feb. 21,
is "Cedarburg Salutes Amer-
ica." Festivities take place
8am-10pm Saturday and
8am-4pm Sunday.
Visitors can hop aboard
the tractor-drawn hay wagon
to view the spectacular ice
carving contest entries along
Washington Avenue. On the
active side, old-fashioned
"snow competitions" are
waged by registered teams
– more information at (262)

there is a new competition on
Sunday – a Snow Bowling
Tournament held outside at
the City Hall Lawn.
Two chili contests heat up
the scene Saturday at the
Cedarburg Community Cen-
