Audubon Community Nature Center’s Snowflake Daze: Embrace the Winter will be held Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 6-7.
The Audubon Community Nature Center is transforming its annual Snowflake Festival into Snowflake Daze for 2021.
On Saturday, Feb. 6, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or Sunday, Feb. 7, from noon to 4:30 p.m., area residents can explore the winter landscape, learn about some activities that embrace the snow and engage in some hibernation-friendly hobbies and crafts.
Sign up for an hour-and-a-half time slot to choose activities ranging from scavenger hunts to a backyard fire to bird feeder making candy. Audubon will have s’mores kits available for sale and use over the backyard fire. A child-sized cardboard village will spark imaginative play in the backyard along with ice bowling, group skis and other outdoor games. A self-guided nature hike will help those attending understand what is happening in the natural world.

The Boutwell Hill Ski Club has purchased a new grooming ATV made possible through the support of local foundations and supporters.
The Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, Carnahan-Jackson Foundation, Lakeshore Savings Community Reinvestment Fund and Chautauqua Region Community Foundation provided funding for nearly 60% of the purchase price. Supporters and trail users provided the balance.
“We’re grateful to our local foundation for their confidence and support of our great winter recreation program on Boutwell Hill,” said Andy Dickson, Boutwell Hill Ski Club president. “Our new ATV is agile and powerful in deep snow and will mean more and better grooming of the trail system.”
