More than a dozen Central Lakes College Natural Resources Club members co-hosted the Mille Lacs-Kathio State Park candlelight ski Saturday, Feb. 12. The students were tasked with lighting the 600 luminaries along more than three miles of groomed ski trails, and on the day after the event, the students picked up all the candles. Gary Carson and Kent Montgomery of the NR faculty helped supervise, and a CLC bus shuttled guests from the interpretive center to the trail center. Outside the center, a bonfire provided a gathering point, and inside the guests enjoyed cookies, hot cider, and music by the Shaffers. The warm, windless night and half moon over a nice snow base in the woods provided a positive means to enjoy an outdoor winter experience.
