Despite and because of the lack of snow and ice, this crummy winter won't stop us from having a hot time. Come for hot cider, hot fudge and ice cream, hot air balloons, hot marshmallows and more. Wintery fun for everyone. The (newly graffitied!) skating rink is open so bring your skates and also your sleds to go down the ultra-steep hill.

Come be Kings and Queens of Castle Scaffold. Play with snow catapults, foam bow and arrows and find the hidden medallion for a prize.

Come see our Castle Scaffold, build ice sculptures and paint snow. Learn how to and help build a quinzee. You can skate and sled too. Lots to do!

It's pretty darned easy to make fanciful, colorful ice sculptures right in your own backyard. All you need is a bunch of containers, colored water, a level surface and a good ol' cold winter.
