Cabin Fever: Cocoa & Snowshoes. Saturday February 22nd, 10am-12pm. Free. Join Jamie for a cozy critter show and a chance to break out of the house and go on a hike! This free family program includes: an animal show, hot cocoa, and a hike outside. If there’s snow, we’ll put on snowshoes; if not, your regular hiking boots/winter boots will be just fine.
