Tami Lindberg is leading a CAS at Great River making masks and luminaries and some small puppets during the month of January for this event. The masks will be made of paper mache representing hibernating animals mentioned in the book Shingebiss. Tami encourages students and families to participate!

Phalen Freeze Fest: Rediscover the Magic of Winter
Rediscover the magic of winter at the new Phalen Freeze Fest, where we’ll light the darkness and warm the air with art, food, and fun activities. Join us around the fire to hear the Ojibwe legend of Shingebiss, the story of the determined duck who refused to be defeated by the Winter Maker. Help us dramatize the storytelling with parade-style puppets and masks. Inspired by this plucky duck, we'll fish through the ice, build snow caves, and cook our food over the fire. Enjoy a StoryWalk of the picture book Shingebiss by Nancy Van Laan, with woodcut illustrations by Betsy Bowen, posted page by page along a trail lit with luminaries.
Saturday, February 7, 5:00-8:00 pm
Phalen Picnic Pavilion, 1600 Phalen Drive, Saint Paul
**Help build the Shingebiss puppets or prepare the snow caves in workshops starting January 12.**
