Winter – December, January, February:

Winter brings piles of snow, blustery winds and frigid temperatures. Some folks stay indoors and put their feet up by the fire, play board games, read a good book or chat with their family and friends. Brave souls spend time outside ice fishing, ice skating, snowmobiling, snow shoeing or shopping.

Beulah puts out the white winter carpet with Christmas Magic in December and Winterfest in February. Winterfest is a local celebration of winter with fireworks, a parade, a chili cook off, games on the ice and an ice-fishing contest. Winterfest is an annual event that occurs the second Saturday in February.
