The Green Mountain Club will host its 17th Annual Snowshoe Festival
at its visitor center and 40 acre wooded campus on Saturday, Feb.

the fun-filled day with a winter party indoors from 3 p.m. to 5
p.m.
The festival will include free snowshoe demos that participants
can use at the visitor center or on one of the dozen off-campus
guided hikes being offered. The day will also include an array of
events for younger adventurers, including snowshoe scavenger hunts,
indoor crafts and face painting, a bonfire, nature hikes and
tracking tutorials, and the ever-popular dog sledding and
bird-on-glove live demonstrations.
This annual event supports the club's education programs.
