(La Porte, IN) - There will be no ice fishing during this year’s Winterfest in La Porte.

 

The popular Ice Fishing Derby was set for January 28, but cancelled due to no ice on the lakes from the unseasonable weather the past several weeks.

 

Winterfest begins January 27.

 

The events over three days include a coed softball tourney at Lions Field, a professional ice sculpting demonstration at Plaza 618 and a bicycle ride that begins at Cummings Lodge.

 

The final Winterfest events on January 29 include ice skating at the downtown refrigerated rink on Monroe St. just north of Lincolnway and horse drawn wagon rides through Soldiers Memorial Park.
