SnowFest 2024 Recap!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped to make this year's SnowFest such a fantastic event! Nearly a thousand people showed up to enjoy a beautiful late winter day at the Park, run in the trail race organized by the Mid Penn Trailblazers, visit with Smokey Bear, learn about the non-profit organizations that organized activities and crafts, and bid on items in the silent auction.
