For Nokomis, snowy weather around the corner means the same is true for Snowkomis.  Now in its third year, the winter festival is scheduled for December 12 and 13.  As with the previous two editions, there will be games and activities for people of all ages.  This year’s Snowkomis comes as the city looks to highlight an influx of businesses to the city and the employment and economic opportunities that come with it. 

Trever Loafman is a member of Newkomis, which has taken the lead on these efforts and many more.  He says Snowkomis will occupy a large part of Route 16.

Friday is when the lighted Christmas parade will take place.  Visitors can also expect plenty of happenings at the local businesses along the road. 

There’s another parade on Saturday, along with more vendor activity and the Clauses for everyone to enjoy. 

Separate from Snowkomis, Newkomis is celebrating the opening of Farmers Station.  Businesses are setting up there and already seeing high levels of traffic.

More information on Newkomis can be found by contacting Newkomis at newkomisevents@gmail.com or visiting their Facebook page.
