Winter Scream II is coming soon to a square near you, and there are several ways you can participate.
Winter Scream is the Northfield Historical Society’s annual declaration of independence from winter’s grip. This year’s event, the second annual, will be Saturday, Jan. 14, from noon to 2 p.m. on Bridge Square.
Besides the traditional communal sing and ice cream social, NHS has expanded its Winter Scream menu with a chili option from the Reub-N-Stein, and a coloring contest for the kids. It also is inviting people to submit lyrics for the Winter Scream anthem, sung to the tune of the Twisted Sisters’ “We’re Not Gonna Take It.”
Copies of the Winter Scream snow man can be picked up for the coloring contest at the Northfield Historical Society, 408 Division, and the Children’s Desk at the Northfield Public Library or downloaded from the NHS website: www.northfieldhistory.org. Winners will be named in three divisions: 2-4 years old, 5 to 7 years old and 8 to 10 years old. Entries must be returned to the NHS Museum Store by Tuesday, Jan. 10.
Lyrics for the Winter Scream anthem must be submitted to NHS by Friday, Jan. 6, either on hard copy or by e-mailing to: scriven@northfieldhistory.org. NHS judges and the director of Northfield’s “Most Dangerous Choir” will pick the winning entries, which will be used in the 2012 Winter Scream. Here is a sample of lyrics used last year:torical Society, 408 Division, and the Children’s Desk at the Northfield Public Library or downloaded from the NHS website: www.northfieldhistory.org.

“We’ve got no friends in Phoenix
We’ve blown through all our Kleenex
We’re not going to take it, any more.”
“We’ve braved the snow and ice
We’ve shivered more than twice
We’re not going to take it, anymore.”
