FYCC’s popular Father-Daughter Winter Wonderland Dance is coming up soon! And this year, the event has been moved to Fieldstone Elementary to accommodate even more families.
The dance itself is 6–8 p.m., with doors opening at 5:45. Beverages and a treat will be provided. The cost is $20 per father/daughter. (additional daughters just $5 each)
If you’re looking to try a cozy, indoor activity this winter, Saturday Cinema may be just the ticket!
Great River Regional Library in Monticello is hosting “Saturday Cinema,” a free movie series hosted at the library on select Saturdays this winter/spring. Bring your own pillow and blanket, and they’ll provide the popcorn! Movies begin at 10:15 am, and the full schedule can be found below. Call 763-295-2322 with any questions.
