Winter Solstice Walk

Our county park district does a Winter Solstice Walk every year. We thought it looked fun, so we went. So did alot of other people. We had to park in the overflow parking and get shuttled over to the location. It was really cold, and my toes were numb by the end, but it was fun. There was a brass band playing Christmas songs in the lodge, and then we went to seven stations, each one acting out and explaining the traditions of a different culture regarding the winter solstice and Christmas. Will we go again next year? Not sure, but it was great to do at least once.
In the lodge listening to the band. Katie wasn't feeling great. Can you tell?
