There is no better way to look ahead towards some beautiful weather than to break out a golf club and have a great time at the fourth annual Putt 4 a Purpose mini golf event Saturday, Feb. 1.

This coincides with the Fairytale Ball the same day, so Parrott says they are promoting it as a mother/son outing. However, the young ladies have plenty of time to get a round in before getting ready for their party. The proceeds raised are designated for a different charitable organization or effort each year, and this year’s golfers will be supporting the St. Anthony Cancer Center. Katie Decker, a medical dosimetrist at St. Anthony, says it is exciting to see the changes on the $16.5 million 21,000 square-foot center.
