The 27th Annual Blizzard Retreat is taking place at Whispering Oaks near Rochester January 22 - 25, 2026. This is the registration form for that retreat. In order to register and attend, you must be a member of the League of Minnesota Poets, and you must agree to abide by all the League's policies of behavior. Please do not attend if you are unwell. I'm sorry we can not refund registrations. However, we will make every effort to move someone from the waitlist into your spot. If we are able to do that, then we will refund your registration. So please notify us as early as possible, if you're unable to attend. You are required to bring some food for the group, help to prep meals and clean up after them. Tell us what you'd like to bring and the food coordinator will work things out so nothing is duplicated or wasted. You will also need to bring a program/presentation/workshop to present in one half hour slot. Registered applicants will receive  more detailed information prior to the event.  There is one accommodation for a couple, all other attendees will be assigned beds in the 5 other shared bedrooms.  Attendance is limited. First paid, first served.
