Brite Winter brings music, art and fire to the Flats
Record high temperatures at Brite Winter 2017!
On Saturday, February 18, 2017, Mother Nature did not deliver the normal sub-freezing temperatures that we have come to expect at Brite Winter (@Britewinter). (See the "14° in 2014" outdoor fun section of our 2014 blog post.) This year, we had record high temperatures across the area.
Unfortunately, Julie was not able to attend this year, so I went just for some of the evening activities this year with my son. Congratulations to the Brite Winter leadership on their eighth successful year!
