CANDLELIGHT WALK Jan 24th 2020 saw around 800 people enjoying a beautiful winter evening. Beautiful luminaria framed the trail going west from Wildwood Elementary in Mahtomedi for a one-mile segment. It was a perfect January evening, with mild temps and almost no breeze. A fresh coating of snow had fallen the day before, adding to the enchantment of walking down the trail at dusk. Crackling bonfires, warm cider, hot chocolate, and s’mores welcomed participants at each end of the course. A large crowd turned out, with many families pushing strollers and pulling sleds along the trail. Folks seemed in high spirits; we saw quite a few large groups posing for pictures and really enjoying themselves. We’d like to thank the DNR for donating their time and effort hosting this extremely successful event.
