"S'mores & Santa" at Sargent's on 2nd

PINE ISLAND, Minn.- If you're looking for something fun to do tomorrow, you can check out the annual winter fest celebration. Many outdoor events are planned including a cardboard sled race and cross country skiing at the Pine Island Golf Course. If you're looking for something a bit more relaxed, you can play some indoor games and enjoy coffee at Pine Island Senior Citizens. Anna Warehime, the president of Pine Island Senior Citizens, said the event will help bring the community together.

ROCHESTER, Minn.-After a two-year absence due to COVID-19, Project Community Connect came back to John Marshall High School today. It's an event designed to provide resources and services for community members dealing with homelessness or struggling to make ends meet. Some of the services provided included free lunches, haircuts and flu shots. There was also an interpreter there to help bridge language gaps. Larry More, one of the event organizers, said it wouldn't be possible without the willing cooperation of surrounding agencies.

Pine Island's Winterfest is returning for another year. What you can expect if you plan on braving the weather to share in the fun.
