Winterfest, home to the U.S. National Snow Sculpting Competition, has grown into ten days of activities that include events not only designed for fun but also created to give back to the local community. Participation in the following events provides the bonus reward of knowing that you, too, are giving back to the Lake Geneva community. 

And speaking of giving, be sure to check out all of the businesses that sponsor and support Winterfest, joining together to make this event possible.
