Snowshoeing under the stars

Bright stars, colorful glow sticks, and a few flashlights illuminated the paths for snowshoers in Richter Woods County Park Saturday night, January 5. There was just enough snow in the rural Montgomery park to make the first-time event possible.
More than forty people participated in the free Moonlight Snowshoeing event, which was sponsored by Le Sueur County Parks, Ney Nature Center, and TCU Community Education.
"Hosting a free event like this is a great way to get people out and enjoying our parks. This is the first recreational event for us, but we plan to offer more in the future," stated Le Sueur County Parks Director Tyler Luethje.
