Snow sculpting, dog sled rides and other activities are highlighted in the Ely Winter Festival through Sunday in Ely. The annual event celebrates the history and culture of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and features tours of the Dorothy Molter Museum, programs at the International Wolf Center, music concerts, and a dinner and ball (1-800-777-7281; 1-218-365-6123).
The man suspected of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another crawled to officers in surrender Sunday after they located him in the woods near his home, ending a massive, nearly two-day search that put the entire state on edge.
