Hot beverages, a warm fire and lots of laughs. Adults and kids alike had a blast! Weather permitting — with the right combo of temps and snow — could we have possibly started a new annual tradition?

Having a bonfire to keep us warm and hot chocolate and cookies afterwards in the clubhouse was a treat for everyone. Notice the creativity of one of the mothers shoveling her name (Robin) in the snow.

It was a perfect time to clean up all the debris of fallen trees and limbs around and in the pond without endangering ourselves.

Thank you to the following volunteers, Marko Hartley, Ross Musumeci, Scott Stranczek, Eric Herum, Ken and Laura Golonka and Bonnie and Don Letich who worked tirelessly for about 6 hours dragging tree limbs out of the pond, cutting them up and haul them to the burning piles.

It is a big improvement but there is more to do come Spring!

NEW DATE!
7th Annual Harvest Fest

This year our new attraction is the “Trail of Terror” through the woods at Dusk ‘til 10 pm. Many activities are scheduled including a bonfire, hayrides around the pond, cake walk, face painting, seasonal stories out in the woods. Crafts can be made by the children to take home. When your hungry, stop in at the Conservation Café.
