Madison WI will be celebrating winter at Madison Winter Fest on February 18-19 on the capitol square in downtown Madison. Events begin on Friday and continue through Sunday. There are all kinds of things to get involved in as a participant or a spectator. Watch ice carving and snow sculpting. It is not the olympics but there will be running and racing and snowboarding and tubing and shoeing and xc skiing and just a grand winter fun time. If you get chilled you can pop into the Wisconsin State Historical Society Museum on the Capitol Squate for a viewing of their Odd Wisconsin display.
