Get out of the house for food and fun this weekend

Even though we don’t have a foot of snow and arctic temperatures, our winter weather still keeps us in our homes, for the most part.

Yet, there are so many activities that get us out of the house for food and fun.

Over at Swallow Elementary School in Hartland there’s a Father/Daughter Hoe-Down Dance from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday. Admission is $14 with each additional cowgirl, $8.

Hartland Elementary School is celebrating the 100^th day of school with readings of the book “100 Snowmen at Night ,” crafts, hot cocoa and an indoor snowball fight with snowmen. The event is 5:30 to 7 p.m.  Friday.

The North Lake Nomads are celebrating winter with its Fourth Annual Winter Fest from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at Monches Ball Park, Highway E and Center Oak Road, Monches.  The family event is free and includes Clydesdale sleigh rides, vintage snowmobile show, snowmobile rides, games, meat raffle, fire pits, food and refreshments. Bring donations for the food pantry.

If seafood is your thing, head over to Peace Lutheran Church &; Academy on  Maple Avenue in Sussex for its shrimp and fish fry from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Friday. If you’ve got a hankering for chili, St. James Church in Menomonee Falls is having a chili dinner from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday.
