Join the Cazenovia Preservation Foundation (CPF) for a magical evening as we light up the night with a lantern-lit snowshoe hike on Saturday, February 7 at 5 p.m., as part of Cazenovia’s Winter Fest Celebration!
We’ll hike approximately one mile on the Fairchild Hill Trail, depending on the group’s interest, and return to Meier’s Creek Brewing Company where participants can purchase hot cider or other refreshments to enjoy by the fire pits. We’ll wear snowshoes, if conditions permit, otherwise, we’ll go for a winter hike.
In order to participate, please:
1) Fill out our Lantern-Lit Snowshoe Hike Registration Form. All adults must fill out this form for themselves and their minor children, prior to participating in the event.
2) Make a Lantern (or bring your own):
Register for Caz Arts Family-Friendly Lantern Making Class on January 31 and February 1, taught by instructor Krista Brown. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot soon!
Purchase a DIY Lantern Kits. Make a lantern on your own schedule with a do-it-yourself lantern kit (complete with instructions). Kits are available to purchase for $10 each. Please note: The lanterns require some drying time, so make sure to make them a few days before the hike. Contact info@cazpreservation.org to arrange a pick-up time. All kits must be picked up by Friday, February 6th.
Bring an outdoor lantern. While you’re not required to make or bring a lantern to join the hike, it’s definitely a fun way to enhance the experience. Please note, for safety reasons, no glass or flames are allowed on the trails, so be sure your lantern is safe for outdoor use. Add a small bell or chime to your lantern for a festive touch!
3) Reserve snowshoes. We encourage you to bring your own snowshoes, if you have them. A limited number of adult and kid-size snowshoes are available to borrow, courtesy of the Friends of Stony Pond (FROSTY). If you reserve shoes, please arrive by 4:30 p.m. to sign in and gear up.
