CC Minutes 01-27-2014Chanhassen City Council – January 27, 2014
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Mayor Furlong: First item on our agenda this evening, I’d like to make a public announcement for our
upcoming February Festival. The City of Chanhassen is pleased to announce the first community event
st
for 2014 which is our 21 Annual February Festival. This is the first in a year long series of special
events sponsored by the City of Chanhassen, our local service organizations and businesses. February
st
Festival will be held this coming Saturday, February 1 and I’m pleased to invite all area residents, their
families and friends to come and join us at Lake Ann for a day full of events. Everything kicks off at
noon with ice skating, sledding, sleigh rides, bonfires, medallion hunt, the ice fishing contest, hot food
and concessions will be sold on the ice by the Chanhassen Rotary Club and by Culver’s. Boy Scout
Troop 330 will be selling live bait and s’mores kits. The ice fishing contest will run from 1:00 to 3:00
p.m. and includes over $6,000 in prizes donated from local businesses and other organizations. Each Feb
Fest attendee will receive one free door prize for the event and a chance to win over $3,000 in door prizes.
Ice fishing tickets are $10 a piece, per person and are available at City Hall and some local businesses.
For more information please look in the Chanhassen Villager or visit the city’s website. We look forward
to seeing a great crew out there and this year we don’t have to worry about the thickness of the ice I don’t
think, Mr. Hoffman. So unlike years past, one less concern. Maybe there’s a different one but there
should be a lot of fun. It always is and I hope that a lot of people their families get out there and enjoy
Feb Fest this coming Saturday.
