Saturday, February 10, 2024, 10AM-3PM, Ice Harvest Event
This free public event is always weather dependent. We have not had this event for two years due to warm weather spells
and consequently no ice on Fields Pond. Our goal this year is to harvest enough ice to fill the small, newly constructed ice
house at the Village. This will allow us to use ice in our multiple ice boxes in the Village throughout the year.
- Free admission
- Warming Station (Sugar Shack. Maine maple syrup for sale)
- Primitive log scoot pulled by antique tractor with half-tracks
