White Bear Lake BEAR’ly Open – Golf on Ice winter fun event. After two years of COVID, the the issue of Food Insecurity has increased to record levels. Join us in our 15th year as we continue our mission to raise money for the White Bear Area Food Shelf on frozen White Bear Lake. A realistic golf course, complete with real pine trees, challenging holes and actual greens with flags make it a great way to have fun, get out of the house, and raise money for The Food Shelf. The Community Dance on Friday night, Feb. 4 will once again feature local favorite the “Wild Cat Combo”, playing the best of classic rock and roll.
2021 Taste of White Bear Lake!
We're still tabulating, but our event raised as much as $40,000 for our service projects internationally and in White Bear Lake and surrounding communities.
We appreciate the presence Saturday of VFW Post 1782 to help us mark and remember the day: the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.
A special congratulations to Daren Close, whose collective restaurants (Mizu, Acqua, Cabin 61 and Admiral D's) won our 'Best of Show' award. Daron has been a fixture at the Taste of White Bear Lake, like so many of the other vendors. We appreciate all of their steady support -- especially in this challenging time.
A special thank you to the Jaocbsens and Pine Tree Apple Orchard as hosts -- we're fortunate to have such a beautiful location to showcase our club and the vendors who participate.
Last, we appreciate those who bought tickets and helped sell-out our event yet again. Your support is important and appreciated! We are hoping to see you next year!
