WELLS - The Wells Reserve will host its Sixth Annual Winter Family Fun Day on Saturday, Feb. 2, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
With or without snow, the event will offer games, stories, crafts and activities for all ages.
The suggested donation is just $5 per family.
Don't forget to dress warmly and bring your sled, as snow-permitting, you will be able to play snow games, build snow sculptures and go sledding. You are also invited to bring snowshoes or cross-country skis to explore the Reserve's seven miles of trails.
Also at the event, you can make a birdfeeder, cast animal tracks, compile a wildlife and winter tree guide and create a variety of snowflake and snowman crafts.
There will be a family scavenger hunt and hands-on activities demonstrating how animals keep warm in winter and how to recognize their signs. Scheduled activities include guided nature walks at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. and story-readings at noon and 1:30 p.m.
The event's two guided walks may be done on foot, snowshoe or cross-country ski, depending on conditions, but space is limited for the walks, so please make reservations when signing in.
A limited supply of snowshoes will be available to lend thanks to the Sea Road School, but please bring your own skis. Free hot drinks will be supplied for those who bring or buy a mug.
The Wells Reserve is at 342 Laudholm Farm Road, just off Routes 1 and 9 near the Wells-Kennebunk line. Call 646-1555 or visit http://www.wellsreserve.org/ for directions or more information.
