Friday Superior Mayor Jim Paine kicked off the fun by introducing the city’s new winter mascot.

People also gathered to play a game of Kubb and warm up by the fire.

“We are thrilled to introduce our first-ever Superior winter mascot,” said Superior Mayor Jim Paine. “And to name our polar bear we invited the public to weigh in, suggest the names, and vote on them. So if everybody’s ready, I’m proud to announce and introduce to you for the first time, Blizzy the Polar Bear!”
