Fasching is an old carnival tradition that originated in the European Alps to chase away winter. Strips of cloth are strung across downtown Minnesota Street in the German peasant tradition, and the “Narren,” masked characters in colorful costumes, walk the streets inviting people to the party. Held at Turner Hall, Fasching includes music, food and dancing; costumes are encouraged.

Schell’s Bock Fest takes place outdoors on the grounds of Schell’s brewery. Enjoy an award-winning beverage beside a big bonfire and a few thousand friends. The highlight of the day is the Bock Medallion Hunt, when participants use clues to find the “bocks” (a gruff and stubborn goat of winter), to win cash and merchandise prizes.

Beautiful ice-laden trees

Beyer Haus, New Ulm, MN: This former funeral parlor is home to a number of spirits. When the innkeepers moved in, they felt taps on the shoulders and heard footsteps, even when no one else was there. A local psychic medium and paranormal investigator was able to shed light on six different spirits: Charlie is a little boy who died in his bed of scarlet fever, yet still runs through the hallways and teases the dog. Another spirit is the former caretaker, still checking on the house. The housekeeper, Claire, keeps things neat and tidy in Maggie’s Room and, and another spirit lives in the basement. A small boy resides primarily in the closet on the third floor, and has been known to hold hands with guests. All spirits love to appear when least expected.
