Winter. Even though not everyone who lives here loves winter.  In fact, most people feel like it could just go away after the holidays.  But, that is not the case.  So, we try and make the best of it with all sorts of fun activities throughout the holiday season, and into the beginning part of the year.

One of those fun events is happening this Friday night, December 6th, in St. Joe.  It's Winterwalk.  .

What is Winter Walk?
