Not only can you sip on hot cocoa and warm up next to the bonfire, you can also have a one-of-a-kind snow tubing under-the-stars experience!

*Note that there will be no ice skating this year at Bowers School Farm. Owners say,

We are sticking with what we do best . . tubing! We will also have a climbing play area.

Also, there is a new surface on the tube runs to allow for an improved zip down the hill! And it sounds like you can still tube even if there is no snow:

No snow - no problem! You can still tube down our new mSnow surface.
