Winter Fun Then and Now

Winter Fun: Then & Now at Second Saturday program


CANTON -- Children 4-10 are invited to learn about Winter Fun: Then & Now, as part of the “Second Saturday” program from 11 a.m. to noon Saturday, February 13th at the St. Lawrence County Historical Association at the Silas Wright House, 3 E. Main St., Canton. This Saturday program is part of Canton’s Winterfest Celebration.



Children will learn about traditional ways people had fun during the winter, including sledding, skating, skiing, snowshoeing and tobogganing. Old skis, snowshoes, and skates will be on-hand, as well as photographs of people involved in winter activities. Mary Jo Whalen, long-time member of the Adirondack Mountain Club, will speak to the kids about winter activities of the past, and children will get to make a snowman or snowflake craft to take home with them.



The program begins at 11 a.m. in the Children’s Attic on the second floor of the St. Lawrence County Historical Association. Parents, grandparents and other caregivers are welcome to attend this free program. Parking is available in back of the SLCHA, next to the museum’s main entrance.
