Lyman's 37th Annual Winterfest!

Sat. & Sun., Feb. 21 & 22, 2009

If you are looking for something fun to do this coming weekend with your children (or by yourself) you should head over to Lyman Orchards.  I've posted events in the past happening at Lyman Orchards, but now is the time to Celebrate Winter Fun Bill Covitz who is internationally renowned as an ice carver and is a former national champion will be there. Also there will be snow-making experts, so if there isn't any around this weekend.. there will be now.  Ski Sundown, one of Connecticut's premier family skiing facilities, will be partnering with Lyman Orchard's this year in presenting a fun-packed weekend!

I can't think of anywhere else in Connecticut will you find magnificent ice artistry, high-flying aerial stunts on skis and snowboards, lovable Siberian Husky Dogs, and Lyman's great food.

Indoor and outdoor activites also include all the free food samples you can eat, a Sculptures, horsedrawn wagon rides, sled dog mushing demos, and much more!

There is also going to be a Rail Jam Exhibition this year which is sponsored by Ski Sundown. I have no idea what this is.. but I'm sure will be well worth the trip.  Lyman Orchard's has never let me down yet. 

 Here are some of the Winterfest Weekend Events being Scheduled. 

Country Breakfast in the Apple Barrel (Farmer's Market) Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am to noon.

Free Samples of all you can eat.. Saturday and Sunday from 10:00am to 6:00pm

"Under the Seas" Snow & Ice Sculpture Show & Demo
Sat: 10am - 7pm; Sun: 10am - 6pm
Watch Bill Covitz and his team of carvers transform 10,000 pounds of ice into a Winter Wonderland Under the Sea!  Lyman Orchard's is staying open later than normal so you can see this in the dark

Horse-Drawn Wagon Rides, Sled Dog Mushing Demos are also scheduled.  My sons LOVE Huskies.. so I am sure I will know where they will be.

For more events and times, please visit Lyman Orchard's.  I'll be there wearing my "Realtor Hat", so if you see me, come on over and say "Hi".

Valerie, looks like they will be making their own snow and ice for this, and with the weather being as warm as it is today, who knows how it will affect these events.

George.. This is why Ski Sundown will be coming in to blow snow.. so to speak. :)  I think the ice sculpture will be very interesting along with see the Huskies.

Kristin.. I wish I could have gone.  I was planning on going on Sunday, so there would already be ice sculptures there, plus new ones being craved.  Unfortunately it was raining, so you could say it dampened my spirits.  The *free* samples is what enticed me too... especially if they had their cider donuts available.. those are worth the trip by themselves.
