As we head into the final weekend of Snowdown 2025, we’re taking a last look at the annual “Cabin Fever Reliever’s” extensive schedule of events to see if there’s anything we’ve missed. Follies? Check. Fashion Do’s and Don’ts? 10-4. Parade? Coming up Friday night, and we’ll be there.
What we’re looking at now are the wild and crazy events held after dark, and mainly for adults. From karaoke to pole dancing to vying for the title of “Best Chest in the West,” Snowdown at night is truly something to behold.
