An Ice Outing Awaits In Leavenworth
Weather notwithstanding, the ice has gone down in Leavenworth. This ice sheet is indoors, however. A new ice rink has been added to the Icicle Junction Family Fun Center, located at the outskirts of Leavenworth on Highway 2.
The four-acre fun center also includes an 18-hole miniature golf course, replica excursion train and bumper boats. Rental skates are available at the skating rink. For information: (888) GO-2-ICICLE.

Try to relax
Thanksgiving is traditionally the busiest travel day of the year, at least when it comes to those traveling by air.
To help travelers navigate the crowds, United Airlines offers some travel tips:
Leave for the airport an hour earlier than normal to allow time to park.
Bring your drivers license or other identification for security purposes.
Reconfirm flight times and seat assignments at least 12 hours in advance of your departure.
If possible, take only carry-on bags.
So many destinations…
Mountain biking in Canyonlands, Zion or Bryce? Kayaking off the coast of Alaska? Hiking to Machu Picchu? If any of these activities strike a chord when it comes to planning your 1997 vacation, you might want to contact Michols Expeditions, based in Moab, Utah.
