2017 Winter Festival
{2017 Winter Festival}
The 11th Annual Winter Festival was held on Saturday, February 4, 2017 at Burr Pond State Park in Torrington. The festival provided a host of activities for the entire family with many fun winter activities, including: ice fishing and Fish Fry with our CARE volunteers, marshmallow roasting, story-time by the bonfire, ice sculptures, hikes, wildlife talks, snowshoeing, and demonstrations (CARE, LL Bean, Resources in Search and Rescue, CT Horse Council, Energize CT, and Torrington Fire Department Search and Rescue) . In addition, the winning cover shot for the 2017 Angler’s Guide Photo contest was also unveiled.
A heartfelt Thank You to the over 600 people that came out and braved the cold weather for the festival; Boy Scout Troop 4 for the snacks and hot chocolate; and to all those that volunteered their time.
See you all again next February for the 12th Annual Winter Festival.
