Blue Hills Winter Fest

On Tuesday, February 28, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., the Friends of the Blue Hills will host the Winter Fest at Blue Hills Ski Area, 4001 Washington St, Canton. For those who are hoping to get some winter exercise, there will be a night hike and discounted downhill skiing. There will be plenty of indoor fun, too. Adults and children alike can do a jig to the spirited Irish tunes of Songs for Ceilidh, sample tasty chili, make creative winter crafts, or just warm up in front of the fireplace in the cozy ski lodge. Trillium Brewing will also be on hand selling select beers, and additional refreshments will be available at the snack bar.

Several South Shore businesses will be vying for first place in the event’s chili cook-off. Event participants will taste chili from Orchard Cove of Canton, Abby Park of Milton, and two Quincy restaurants, The Fours Restaurant & Sports Bar and Fowler House Café.

Event sponsors include Public Lands, Orchard Cove and Morgan Stanley: the McGowan Group.
