This year’s Gun Lake Winterfest Saturday was presented with weather challenges that included stiff winds, frigid temperatures and wind chills stats that did more than make people uncomfortable.

I’ve gone through the ice a few times in my many, many long winters, but never on purpose. Lauren and Joe, I admire your toughness.
