We are adhering to all COVID precautions to bring this event to the public this year. As we get closer to the event, some activities may change. At this time, we will not be offering cross cut sawing and cross country skiing this year. Everyone is welcome to attend, and masks will be mandatory to participate in most of the events. This will include anything indoors, the sleigh ride, and any time you are in close proximity to another person, such as gathering to watch the ice rescue demonstration. There are more areas to watch the Ice rescue, as we have cleared the brush around the pond. We encourage masks to be worn at all times.
No registration is required to attend, but you can register for a time on the sleigh ride when you arrive. This way, you can sign up for a time on the sleigh ride and go participate in other activities while you wait for your time on the sleigh.
We are still accepting sponsors for some of the activities, which will allow your company to have a banner or sign at the activity of your choosing to show your support of Friends of Rogers. We are also accepting donations for the raffle basket table - so if your company would like to donate a gift card, experience, or item, please email Heather Tehan at development@friendsofrogers.org.
