ICE HARVEST FESTIVAL

ARROW PARK AND MUSEUM VILLAGE will host the FIRST ANNUAL ICE HARVEST FESTIVAL from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Dr. Robert Schmick will use authentic harvesting tools (like a 54-inch long two-handed saw) from Museum Village's collection, to cut blocks of ice and transport several up the hill to the large Ice House still preserved at Arrow Park.

In addition to the Ice Harvest there will be Ice Skating and Snow Shoeing (weather and ice permitting). Plus, in the Arrow Park Pavilion "Warm-Up Station" - artists and local farmers of Orange County will be selling goods and demonstrating their trades. There will be old time music, story telling and Just-for-Kids Craft Activities, lead by Laurie Seeman and Joanna Dickey of Strawtown Studio. Great Winter Fun!

Admission $5.00
