Reed Smoot, Bear Lake Rendezvous Chamber of Commerce said that the Chamber will help with the Winterfest with the Taste of Bear Lake.
There will be demonstrations in the sinks on Friday showing good ways to handle snowmobiles and other snow activities. On Saturday there will be a boat regatta. The polar plunge will also take place that day. There will also be a 5K race, and pancakes will be available on Sunday at Cody’s. Bear Like lodging facilities are already full. However, there will be outdoor tenting. There will be dance Saturday night.
Mike Leonhardt has been able to get four of our Utah State Legislators to come to the activity. They will also be participating in the polar plunge.
Television channels 4 and 5 will be running advertisements to make sure that as many people who would like to participate will be aware of the date and what will be going on.
Activities like this cost money. Garden City is hoping that they will be given a share of the TRT (transient room tax) from the County. There are also sponsorships that are assisting. One of the Charities, Family Place, has given the city $6,000.
Hopefully, the citizens in Garden City will be willing to help. At the City Christmas Party, there were about 100 people there and many were helping. Citizens who are willing to step up and help out for this activity will be very appreciated. People are important and have been most helpful in the past. One lady has already volunteered to get up a web site to advertise this activity. Also, there are new businesses in town that will hopefully step in and advertise their business making it possible for more places people can go to for shopping, eating, etc.
What can people do. Hopefully, they will come, eat, and stay. Parking will be a problem. Arrangements are being made with the Sand and Gravel Company to help. Hodges Canyon will be used for parking It will be one of the best places for people with snowmobiles and other ATV.
