December Opportunities |
December is a perfect example of the wide variety of sports and recreation opportunities available year-around in the Wenatchee Valley. Schools are involved in everything from wrestling to dance. Outdoor rec includes skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and hunting...and that just scratches the surface. Below you'll find information on a number of those activities, and links if you want to dig deeper.
Speaking of opportunities, remember to get your Christmas Tree at the Wenatchee Exchange Club lot at Morris Little League Park. The Exchange Club is a big-time supporter of local youth activities.
