The Town of Inlet is getting ready for the annual Frozen Fire & Lights festival on Saturday, February 26, a day of bonfires, outdoor activities, and fun for the whole family.
Local artist Gregg Rudd has set the mood for the festive day by creating a snow sculpture in front of the Inlet Town Hall.
There will be a book sale at the Inlet Public Library from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the Inlet Youth Commission will sponsor a Noah’s Ark Animal Workshop from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Inlet Town Hall.
Outdoor activities begin at noon at Fern Park where there will be sledding, ice skating, and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on the trails.
Those interested should bring their own sled, but ice skate, snowshoe and ski rentals are available locally.
New this year is a Cardboard Sled Race that will begin at 1 p.m. Bring along your own creation made strictly of cardboard and tape.
Prizes will be awarded in the fastest, slowest, and best design categories.
Hot cocoa and donuts can be enjoyed as you warm yourself by the bonfire.
At 5 p.m., the fun moves to Arrowhead Park where there will be a bonfire and free hotdogs and other treats.
A spectacular fireworks display over the snow and ice will begin at approximately 7 p.m.
Following the fireworks there will be Wine and Chocolate Sampling at Matt’s Draft House at Screamen Eagle.
The event is made possible by the Town of Inlet, the Inlet Area Business Association, the Central Adirondack Association and a tremendous amount of local support.
