The Search for the Holy Grail

February 8, Sunday, 1pm

Rich and Michelle Briere lead an easy "stop and smell the snowflakes" trip to Oakley Corners State Forest in Owego. If there is snow, the center offers two options: snowshoes or cross country skis. If not, it's a hike! Participants will be searching for the elusive "Holy Grail." The finder wins an appropriate prize. After the hike, gather next door at the Brier's outdoor fire pit for warmth, hot drinks, and toasted marshmallows. Call 687-2989 to register for this special winter trip which is co-sponsored by Waterman Center, ACC, TCHC, and the League of Professional Couch Potatoes.
