The annual Okoboji Winter Games are underway in northwest Iowa. Great Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce director, Blain Andera, says the games are on despite the warmer weather. He says they did move a few of the events off of the ice, but this is much nicer than last year when they had temperatures at ten below and a stiff northwest wind. He says they get between 30 and 40-thosuand people who attend the games. Several businesses and restaurants open up just for the weekend that are seasonal and are typically closed in the wintertime. The games run through Sunday and you can find a complete listing of the events at uofowintergames.com.
