Arnolds Park, IA (KICD)– Planning continues for one of the biggest celebrations in the area during the winter months, the University of Okoboji Winter Games.

Kiley Zankowski from the Iowa Great Lakes Chamber of Commerce tells KICD News the games will go on at the end of the month despite weather conditions not currently looking all that favorable.

Zankowski says the big finale on Saturday night of Winter Games can still use some donations from the public in the form of greenery to burn.

Voting for this year’s Winter Games Cheerleaders is also underway. Ballots are available online and in person and Chamber of Commerce office in Arnolds Park during regular business hours through Thursday.
