The Friends started 2015 out right supporting the Wisconsin First Day Hike with warming fires, cocoa, apple cider and coffee for all in attendance. We were so excited to see so many families and friends out enjoying this beautiful park. Now to update you on what is happening!
Accessible Cabin: The shell is done, deck is on and we made it through our first inspection. We just need the plumbers and heating crew to stop out and finish their work so insulation can be done. Of course temperatures in the 40’s would be helpful as well. If you are interested in helping with this project, please email us at . As you can imagine, as you work on a project, there are changes that need done to fit with new requirements or better service for the building. We increased our goal from $150,000 cash to $160,000. If you are able to help, financial contributions can be made by mail at Friends of Harrington Beach State Park, 531 County Hwy D, Belgium, WI 53004 or via the donation link at http://friendsofharrington.org/
Candlelight Ski-Hike: Our next hike will be on Saturday, February 7, 2015 from 6 to 9 p.m. We will be serving a few different soups, hot dogs, bars/cookies, apple cider, cocoa and coffee. As an added extra, we will have baked potatoes cooking out on the fire. They will be baked in dutch ovens. The food will be free but donations are appreciated. Vehicle Admission sticker will be required.
