This event formerly held at Bloomer Park, will be held at the Nature Center in Riverbends Park, Shelby Twp.  We will have a fire in the outdoor fire pit, hot soup simmering on the stove and an indoor warming space with bathrooms to warm up and change your layers.

KEEP IN MIND… This is Michigan. Trail conditions could be snow covered, icy, muddy!
