A note to those using this list to update/create the Winona Area Family Events Calendar:

• Generally. we only include events that would be appropriate for families with at least one child aged five and under;
• Generally, we only include events within an hour's drive of Winona, tops; even then, the event would have to be pretty good to justify driving more than 30 minutes;
• When submitting an event, please include as much information as parents need to make a decision about the event -- day(s), time, cost, address and/or directions, short description, and contact information (phone number and/or website, if available) for finding more info.
• Events can be submitted to WinonaECFEPTA [ at ] gmail . com
