Help!! I was in the Walhalla Area Chamber when Liann decided to change the window displays and put in Spring and Easter items. She got out a box of rabbits of all sizes and when she turned her head those darn rabbits captured me, I think if Liann ever finds me , I will make sure to stay away from that box. The windows on main street are always decorated for everyone to enjoy.
Saturday was a busy day for me but I did get the time to go to the Gorge Gallery on Main Street. I wanted to see the artists that were demonstrating their talent. 
Dave Gray let me watch as he did his chalk painting and Lori Gray gave me a lesson is one stroke painting. 
There were lots of ladies visiting and they let me rest for a minute with them. The members of the Gallery told me that there will be a free cookie decorating class for kids from kintergarden to 8th grade this Saturday, maybe I’ll see if I can join in the fun. Watch to see my cookies. The Gorge Gallery is located in the Walhalla Area Chamber office.

After playing in the snow today, I decided to stop into the Forestwood C-Store to warm up with a cappuccino. I sat down in one of the nice new chairs and had a wonderful visit with Monica and Greg. The folks there have been busy spiffing up the place lately and they offered to give me a tour of the hotel. The suite has a gr
eat new look, new pictures and furniture. 
They are always doing something new over there! Stop in sometime!

The goal was to showcase the many winter activities, events and opportunities that can be found in every part of North Dakota.
“In every region of North Dakota you can find a place that celebrates winter fun. We have family-friendly downhill skiing. We have snowboarding, tubing, ice fishing and snowmobile festivals. Miles of cross-country ski trails can be found at your local golf course or state park. winter fun is everywhere in this state,’’ said Sara Otte-Coleman, Tourism Director. Sara and her family celebrated Winter Fun Day at Frost Fire Ski Area west of Walhalla on Saturday.
Most of the state’s downhill ski areas have snow-making abilities and resort representatives emphasized their ability to ensure good runs and plenty of snow cover.
“Often times when people look out the window and see very little snow, they forget that other area of the state either have snow or when it comes to ski runs can make snow,’’ Otte Coleman said.
Dick and Judith Johnson, owners of Frost Fire truly are leaders when it come to tourism and quality recreation. Frost Fire Ski Lodge and Amphitheatre play a major role in Walhalla’s Tourism Action Plan.
