1998 February Festival
Chanhassen's fifth annual February Festival is less than a month away. My main
focus again this year is the ice fishing contest. The contest will take place fi'om
I-3 p.m. at our new location Lake Ann.
Tile schedule of events brochure was distributed aroulld town on Friday, January
16. Information about the event will be sent to all participating sponsors this
week. Brochures were also mailed to all of last year's participants. In addition,
display ads will be placed in thc Chanhassen Villager and brochures xvill be
inserted into the Villager and Herald on Thursday, January 29.
The fishing contest has many great prizes again this year. The grand prize for the
largest fish is a trip to Las Vegas courtesy of Travel Advisors International/
American Express and Trans Global Vacations. For the money, this is a great
value for participants. The fishing contest prize layout has changed to include a
prize for tile top twenty fish caught rather than individual fish categories. You
will notice that the top twenty prizes are worth $4,000 and are very nice prizes.
I am working on February Festival every day in order for it to be a success, l'm
praying daily that many fish will be caught at our nexv location!
