February 28th couldn’t have been a more perfect day to enjoy the outdoors especially after spending time in Iraq. It was a balmy day for skiers, snowboarders and tubers at Afton Alps located in Hastings, Minnesota.
The Yellow Ribbon Network of Washington County and Afton Alps provided discounted rates, appetizers and live music to military members and their families. The event kicked off with a parade consisting of a trail groomer and over a dozen snow patrols descending Hill 3 on skies carrying the symbol of our freedom.
