Sunday, February 11th:
The Super Bowl will be kicking off tonight, but there is still daylight to burn! Get some fun under your belt in the morning to finish your weekend right!
Greet the day with Yoga in the Cellar at Meier's Creek Brewing Co. starting at 10:30AM. Tickets are $20 per person and you can pre-register by visiting https://momence.com/Erin-Vollmer/Yoga-%40-Meier's-Creek/99349909
Then we feast! Meier's Creek is hosting a Winter Fest Send Off Brunch from 11AM-4PM, or if you prefer something a little lighter, do yourself a favor and stop into Cazenovia Bagel Co. Local's love the Critz Farm breakfast sandwich or the Al-wich, but all in all, so many great options to go around.
Then starting at 11am is "Love Fest" at Skanda! But remember -- book your spot ahead of time. Spaces to cuddle with donkeys and goats are filling up quick!
Or if a hike is more your speed, check out Cazenovia Preservation Foundation “Snowshoe Sunday” at Meier's Creek Brewing Co. When the snow doesn't show, they just turn the day into a hike -- and that's just as good for a little bit of exercise out in nature! For more details, visit www.cazpreservation.org/events
And did you make sure to order your Super Bowl ice cream pie from the Nelson Creamery yet?
We hope you enjoy Winter Fest Weekend in Cazenovia! We think this town is one of the greatest small towns ever -- and we are so delighted to share all the fun with you!
