We have some options.


If there's enough snow, there will be a cardboard sled challenge on Saturday February 4th, as part of WinterFest.  This is being organized by Gamehaven Boy Scouts, we could spectate at Willow Creek Golf Course.  This year's flier is available at http://www.gamehavenbsa.org/documents/CardboardSledChallengePoster2012.pdf .  (Last year's flier is available [http://www.gamehavenbsa.org/documents/2011sledflyer2.pdf here]).  It looks like 9:45 am would be a good time to arrive, to see the sleds before they are raced/demolished.


Another option would be the often requested dinner and a movie.  However Tina pays no attention to the movie scene, and therefore needs movie recommendations and restaurant location requests.

If the course turns out to still be too unenjoyable, we'll shift a few blocks NW to Kingvall Park, and try their disc golf course instead.
