The Whitetail Deer Classic, at the Eau Claire Civic Center, is scheduled for the weekend of Jan. 31, Feb. 1 and 2. The Chippewa Moraine Ice Age Interpretive Center has purchased 24 pairs of snowshoes and a pair of binoculars with donations from the public. The shoes are available for use at no charge and include both youth and adult sizes. The center is located several miles east of the intersection of Hwy. 40 and County Road M, northeast of Bloomer, and is open seven days a week.
Many skiers report sighting deer, turkey, grouse and pheasant on the trails.
Swiss Miss is providing free refreshments and a warming fire at the trail head, near the depot. Trail fees are waived for this event. Come and see the spectacular blue ice wall along the trail.
