Are you ready to party Jamaican style, mon? Grab your pink flamingo; don the dreadlocks, and head to Devil's Head Resort, Wisconsin's largest ski and ride resort, the weekend of Feb. 14-16.

Saturday features face painting, a NASTAR race at 1 p.m., horse drawn hay rides from 2-6 p.m. complete with a steaming cup of hot cocoa, and kids tube races in the afternoon. There's even a supervised kid's Funky Reggae Party and dinner in the Childcare Center that evening. The Avalanche Bar and Grill heats up at night for the adults with live reggae music. Sunday is more of the same party theme, and Monday take a few runs before heading home.

The weekend of Feb. 20-21 will be Mardi Gras time at the Head complete with a live blues band and lots of beads and kids events. It will be a fun time for the whole family. There will be NASTAR and tube races, face painting, horse drawn hay rides, and a supervised kid's party on Saturday night in the Childcare Center complete with food, games, and crafts. Adults can head over to the resort's Cornucopia Restaurant for some fine dining and over to the Avalanche Bar for some hot New Orleans style blues where it will rock late into the night.
