PUCK (Patrick / Urho Community Kinship) Days

Let's get together for a weekend of exciting events in Eveleth to celebrate our cultures and heritage

Friday night, March 14th (6-8PM at Hoagie's): Pull out your pots, chili powder, chili peppers, or just your antacids for a chili cook-off. Cook your secret recipe to put into the contest or come to sample the chili to help determine the Chili Cook-off Champion.

SATURDAY, MARCH 15TH:

Beginning at 10AM come to the sliding hill for a "Family Sliding Day" sponsored by Arrowhead DARE.

There will be hot dogs, chips, hot chocolate.

Don't have a sled? Several extra sleds will be available for use.


Beginning at 11AM:
Come to Southside park to see Antique, Vintage, and Modern snowmobiles. Trophies will be distributed at 12:30.

Want to be in a winter parade? There will be snow lining part of the street so we can demonstrate our winter heritage: Want to snowshoe, ski, snowmobile, pull children in a sled, run a dog sled team? Want to pull your fish house, but it's on wheels? That's okay, the snow will only be on a portion of the street so all types of floats/units can be in the parade. If interested in being in the parade, line up will begin at 11AM at Southside Park. If you can't make it at 11, that's okay, you can line up anytime prior to the start of the parade.
Not interested in being in the parade? Come and watch - the parade route will go down Grant from Fayal to Jones.


Beginning at 2:00 come to the Quilt show / Craft Fair at the Eveleth Senior Citizens Center.
Have a quilt you would like to show?
Have crafts you would like to sell?


If interested in the quilt or craft show contact Heather at 744-2352 to register. Space is limited so call soon!

Also beginning at 2PM: BOOK FAIR
Come to the library for a book fair. The cost? A food donation or cash donation. Food donations will be given to the Quad Cities Food shelf and the cash donations will be given to Bill's House (the local shelter). Get books and help out the community at the same time.
Have books you would like to donate? You can bring them to the Eveleth Library and let them know they are for the Eveleth Horizons book fair.
After the parade: JACKPINE BOCCE BALL
Come to the Jackpine Bocce Ball event.
Also from 2-6PM: Come to Bonsai Tea (411 Grant Avenue) for an OPEN STAGE! All are welcome!
Please watch for more events as they continue to evolve. Interested in hosting an event or volunteering? Contact Heather at 744-2352 or comment below. We would love to have more activities for the community and are in need of volunteers.

Thanks for taking the lead in developing the sledding hill. We went there for the first time over the weekend and had SO much fun!

Looking forward to the events on March 15th. Keep up the good work!
