Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith, and this is one of those times. Papa has decided to open his Polar Patch on Friday, December 26 at 12 noon, even though there isn’t enough snow on the ground today.

You see, we’ve learned over time that while we live in North Dakota, we may or may not have enough snow for a polar patch. This year, Papa’s willing to bet we will get some more of the white stuff before Christmas!

We plan to be open daily from 12-5 pm for Papa’s Polar Patch beginning Friday, Dec. 26 and going through Sunday, Jan. 4. Weather is always a challenge during the polar patch so please, check Papa’s website or his Facebook page before you plan to visit us. In general, we follow school guidelines: if the temperature is below zero or the wind chill is -15 or lower, Papa’s Polar Patch is closed.

We wish you a wonderful holiday season, and we hope to see you at Papa’s Polar Patch!

Take good care,

Papa
