Winter Festival February 26, 2026





Many of us have spent the last 17 days watching amazing athletes perform winter sports at a level  we could never come close to.  Well, maybe with the exception of curling...well, maybe not.  I know, you're tempted to say  "I can do this, hold my beer" .   It does seem like a sport the average anipal could do. The problem is, at #Nipclub,  we would say Hold My Beer, and literally, mean someone should hold our beer.  Or beers.  And many beers is not conducive to staying upright on ice, let alone accuracy. 

Well, the Olympics are over but winter is not, so we're going to take all our new-found enthusiasm for winter sports and activities, and bring it down to our level  and have a Winter Festival.

Pick a winter activity and we can get you set up...cross country skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, skating, snowmobiling, dog sledding, hockey or broom ball. 

Why not try your favorite sport on a snow covered lake?   Things like baseball, golf and croquet take on a whole new level of fun.

Not up for activity?  Then stroll the #Nipclub grounds to see or try your paws at ice carving or snow sculpture.  Or just hang out by one of the indoor or outdoor bars  for drinks, noms and music.

Mardi gras party February 19, 2026





  • It's February, the start of a festival season that marks the beginning of Lent.  These events are held the world over.  While no country's festival is exactly the same, they all celebrate life, fun, and excess before the beginning of the somber Lenten season.   And we all know Nipclub does not do somber! 

  •  What?  You say Fat Tuesday is over so why bother?  We say, Why Not?   Let Italy have its Carnavale.  And Rio have it's Carnival.  New Orleans Mardi Gras is over..... #Nipclub will have a Meowdi Gras pawty!  Get ready for great music,  drinks and noms, and a chance to meet up with old friends and make new ones.  

If you had a Mardi gras outfit from @realfakegator in the past but can't find it, let him know, he should be able to find it for you.  If you need one, let him know ASAP (DM/chat is best)
