The craft market, Clear Stream Custom Water Craft boat building demonstration, broomball tournament, All Weather Rider’s groomer rides and winter activities with the Boy Scouts and Appalachian Mountain Club kept festival goers well entertained throughout the morning.
Kids enjoyed bouncing in the bounce house and sang along to their favorite songs with Rick Charette. In the evening, the Burning of the Greens bonfire drew skaters young and old.
