Skamania County's Community Events and Recreation Department invites winter recreation and outdoors enthusiasts to its annual Winterfest this Saturday and Sunday at Gifford Pinchot National Forest's Old Man Pass Sno-Park.
"Bundle up your family and bring your sleds and cross country skis," said a spokesman. "We will have many free activities, including snow play, a snowman building contest, a bonfire, product demonstrations, snacks and tons of fun."
Admission to the event is free but sno-park permits are required. Permits can be purchased in advance at the Stevenson Chamber of Commerce office or from local retailers.
Free parking shuttle service from nearby sno-parks will also be available.
