We kind of lucked out the first few months of winter, but we all knew it was only a matter of time before we got any measureable snow. Now that we do, we might as well take advantage of it. Here’s a good place to start:
The Webster Parks and Recreation Department will host a Family Winter Fun Day on Saturday Feb. 20, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Rec Center, 1350 Chiyoda Drive.
All sorts of family-friendly fun-in-the-snow events are planned, including
- ice skating at the rec’s outdoor rink (bring your own skates)
- an outdoor ice fishing game,
- a polar bear station where kids can learn about polar bears, make a craft and read a polar bear book
- hiking along the paved Chiyoda Trail (bring a flashlight or headlamp)
- cross country skiing with the Rochester Cross Country Ski Foundation
If you don’t particularly like the cold, you can warm yourself by some fire pits, enjoy free hot chocolate and popcorn, or head inside to the gym to try out the Gaga Pit.
More details will be coming soon, especially about the cross country skiing. You can check them out on the Webster Recreation Center webpage or their Facebook page.
