A trio of activities kick off Wiscasset Parks and Recreation’s seventh annual Winterfest, Feb. 11. All activities are at Wiscasset Community Center, Parks and Recreation Director Todd Souza said.
From noon to 2 p.m. are Winter Snow Games, run by Wiscasset Middle High School students, and the Fat Tire Bike Demo and Group Ride, run by Bath Cycle & Ski. WMHS students will also host a hot cocoa and s’more station from noon to 4 p.m.
Chewonki Foundation’s Owls of Maine, with live animals, will be held from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.
From 2 to 3 p.m. is winter storytelling and an activity; and from 2 to 4 p.m., Midcoast Conservancy puts on a winter walk/snowshoe activity. Also from 2 to 4 p.m. Wiscasset Sno Goers will offer snowmobile rides.
Enough afternoon offerings to make an event-goer hungry. From 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. is a spaghetti dinner fundraiser with donations benefiting the department’s scholarship fund and Nathan Panarese’s expenses as he battles leukemia; each cause will get half the donations, Souza said.
The Wiscasset Fire Department has charge of a bonfire from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Fireworks by Central Maine Pyrotechnics are set for 6:45 to 7 p.m.
Winterfest wraps up with a movie in the gym: “The Secret Life of Pets.”
