Lantern-Lit Snowshoe Hike with CazArts and CPF
February 8 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Join the Cazenovia Preservation Foundation (CPF) as we light up the night for a special evening lantern-lit snowshoe hike during Cazenovia’s Winter Fest Celebration. We’ll meet at Meier’s Creek Brewing Company to head out on the trails with our beautiful handmade lanterns at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 8.
We’ll wear snowshoes, if conditions permit, otherwise, we’ll go for a winter hike. Adult and kid-size snowshoes are available to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis, courtesy of the Friends of Stony Pond (FROSTY). If you plan to borrow shoes, please arrive between 4:00-4:15 p.m. so that we can get everyone outfitted.
We’ll hike about 0.7-1.2 miles 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 firepits.
More info about this and other CPF Snowshoe events, including FAQs, can be found on CPF’s events page.
To make a lantern:
-
Visit CazArts to sign up for a Lantern Making Workshop with Krista Brown on February 1-2. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot soon!
-
Can’t make it to the workshop? CazArts has also prepared several lantern kits (complete with instructions) so that you can make a lantern on your own schedule (it does require some drying time, so make sure to do this a few days before the hike). Kits are available to purchase for $5 each at CPF’s January 12 and January 23 Snowshoe Sunday events or contact info@cazpreservation.org to arrange a time to purchase one at the CPF office.
