Winter Park in Kewaunee will soon have a new attraction nearby thanks to three warm days in Algoma close to four years ago. The Dana Farm Ice Rink will soon open to skaters free of charge once it freezes over. In addition to the ice rink, a warming shelter with bathrooms was also built and the nearby Ransom Moore cabin was also restored. The $100,000 project was funded in part by a donation from the 2017 Kewaunee County Farm Technology Days Committee. Randy Ebert, who hosted the event at Ebert Enterprises, is proud of the legacy Farm Technology Days continues to leave for future generations.
Kewaunee County Promotions and Recreation Director Dave Myers hopes cold temperatures come soon so skaters can stop by and enjoy the new ice rink. As for Winter Park, its tubing hill is expected to open this weekend with COVID-19 safeguards in place. Myers says more snow and cold temperatures are needed for the ski hill, but is hopeful it will open by next weekend.
