February 2024 Fair Hills Newsletter
In February, we start with a different message – a love note!
If you’re reading this, WE LOVE YOU! In whatever way you LOVE Fair Hills, guest, staff, neighbor, and/or friend, we love you back!
Now back to our regularly scheduled starting topic, the weather! February has followed the winter norm of not being normal. It rained on February 7th & 8th. Rained…in February! Unheard of! We saw grass for most of the month. For the most part, the temps and weather have been mild. On February 15th & 16th it was cold, dipping back down into the single digits with wind. However, come the 17th & 18th, it was beautiful, calm and sunny. Then on February 26th the temps topped out in the 50’s! Goodbye winter coat! Until the 27th, when it dropped into the negative temps. An over 50* swing in under 24 hours. Can I get an UFFDA? Now we have a dusting of snow on the ground, are starting the day in the single digits but have warmer temps on the horizon. What a wonky month!

2024 Polarpalooza Tubing Champions!
Congratulations to Liz, Tanner, Josh and Caitlin – 2024 Polar Fest Polarpalooza Tubing Race Champions! You might remember, we also won this in 2022 – Two Time Champs!
It was an unseasonably warm night to race on snow, but it was a blast. The warm weather made for some sticky ice/snow, but we figured out a good pushing off strategy and came away with the win. The races as a part of Detroit Lakes’ Polar Fest, which runs for most of February. The event pits teams of 4 against each other in a double elimination bracket competition until one team is declared the winner.
