For many people, winter is the time when they hole up in their homes and only come out when it is necessary for work or shopping. It usually isn't the time to go gallivanting around getting into things. If this is typically your way of thinking, it's time to change all of that. Winter can be fun and the Winter Carnival held at Christmas Mountain Village in Wisconsin is the event that is going to prove it. Most fairs and festivals are reserved for purely the summer months. It's about time winter got its chance. This is one event that is going to be fun for the whole family. Especially if you are new to this region of the country, the dog sled events are sure to get your heart racing. Both dog sled racing and dog weight pulling contests are a big part of the Winter Carnival. If you want to see man in some physical competition, be sure to find out the time and location of the wood splitting contest.
The kids aren't left out at the Winter Carnival at Christmas Mountain Village either. They can have a good time going on a horse drawn wagon ride or checking out the craft booths. Of course, there are plenty of places to grab a good cup of hot chocolate and watch the dogs do their thing. In the evenings, the firework displays are a nice change of pace and make the perfect ending to a great day. Family fun and shopping around the holidays couldn't be better.
