The Southport Island Association is excited to announce that the annual Winter Walk will take place on Saturday, March 9 from 3 to 5 p.m. The SIA is partnering again with Cape Newagen Alpaca Farm, and the Southport Memorial Library to celebrate our community walk.

The Winter Walk begins at 3 p.m. at the library with alpacas in the lead with owners Mike Ciccarelli and Anne Gobes. All are welcome to join in this multi-generational fun! Get outside in the fresh air with your neighbors and help walk the alpacas to the Town Landing and back to the library. Enjoy the light as our days are getting longer! Please leave your dogs at home, the alpacas are a bit frightened by dogs.

Upon return to the library, stay for some good cheer with coffee and hot chocolate and enjoy a wine and cheese hour sponsored by the SIA. All are welcome to bring an appetizer to share. The library will be open to the public as well and walkers can shop for used books for sale. Snow date will be Sunday, March 10.
