Winterfest is a two-day community celebration of winter. The two-day festival includes a used book sale and mug swap.
The Friends of the Library Book Sale features thousands of gently used books for $1 to $2. There will also be a “Bag Happy Hour” Feb. 10 where locals can fill a provided tote bag with books for $15.
For the coffee and hot chocolate mug swap, bring your favorite and trade it for a new one!
On Friday, Feb. 9, events include a book discussion, snowy craft-making, a “Frozen” movie sing-along and an intro to plein air painting.
Then Saturday there’s a polar plunge pre-party before the Polar Plunge Fundraiser at the MARC and ice skating with princesses. The snowman-building contest was canceled due to lack of snow.
