With the right conditions, sledding is a big draw at Winter Fest, taking place this year on Sunday, Feb. 9 from noon-3 p.m.
Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust is once again partnering with Great Salt Bay Community School’s PTO to host the sixth annual Winter Fest, a free, family-friendly outdoor celebration of winter. This year, the event will take place at Coastal Rivers’ Salt Bay Farm, on Belvedere Road in Damariscotta, on Sunday, Feb. 9 from noon-3 p.m.
Kids and grown-ups alike are invited to go sledding, try out a snowshoe obstacle course and other snowshoe games, make an animal tracks craft, enjoy free hot dogs and hot cocoa, and warm up by a campfire with marshmallows for roasting.
Thanks to a grant from the Great Maine Outdoor Weekend School Partnerships Fund in 2018, adult and kid-sized snowshoes will be available to borrow.
A rain or no-snow date has been scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 15 at the same time. For more information, call 563-1393, email info@coastalrivers.org, or visit coastalrivers.org.
