 Well, February is here and if you're looking for things to do this month in the Bemidji area, look no further than the city's recreation department. City's calendar is filled with different events the whole family can enjoy. First up, a safe sitter class is starting next Tuesday at the Public Works Facility. You can register in person or at the Public Works Office online on their website. Participants must attend all four sessions during the month in order to be certified. It's geared towards our middle school age group so anyone from 11 to 14, they'll be learning skills on how to stay safe when they're home alone as well as how to be a good babysitter. So they'll be learning the Heimlich maneuver, some first aid skills, and some business skills as well. The city is also throwing two formals this month at the Sanford Center. The winter family formal will be Friday, February 16th, while the daddy daughter dance will be Saturday the 17th. You can register for both of those online or in person and just a reminder, registration for this year's Frozen Ox 5K is already underway. It's in place of the puller challenge that was part of Winterfest so we're doing something new. We're working with the Bemidji JC's and the Blue Ox Marathon to put this event on. It'll be really fun starting at Palm and Bay doing a 5K and it can be a run or a walk. It's kind of just at your own pace. The city will also be hosting a family night at Buena Vista Ski Resorts. We'll have details for all those events as well as the Shamrock Shuffle, which happens in March on our website at lptv.org.
