The event will feature, among other activities, snowshoeing, sledding and a dog-sledding demonstration.

A campfire with hot dogs and marshmallows will be provided. The warming hut will be open and staffed. Numerous pairs of loaner skates and snowshoes will be available at no cost. The hot dogs will cost $1. All other activities are free of charge.

The trails from Round Top Farm provide excellent snowshoeing opportunities. The trails follow the edge of fields and then dip down along to follow the upper estuary and then loop back from the Whaleback Shell Middens. There are excellent views of the river throughout.
