We all know that this deluge of rain over the past week was much needed. But after rain forced the Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce to postpone the 2014 Enjoy Mill Valley Winterfest for one week – followed by Wednesday’s rough, Waterworld-esque morning commute (seriously, this guy seemed to have it all figured out), we’re ready for a change of pace.
Let’s play in the snow!
We’re having a sledding hill’s worth of snow trucked down from the Lake Tahoe area for Winterfest, set for Sunday, Dec. 7, 11am–6pm in the Depot Plaza downtown. We’re also getting a visit from Santa himself from 1–3pm, so make those lists and check them twice.
We’ll have an array of children’s activities, including a snow ball toss, a dreidel game and holiday arts & crafts, as well as a day-long lineup of live entertainment. And don’t get us started on the food and drinks from some of the best restaurants in town.
In the spirit of giving back, we’re hosting drives for both the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank and Toys for Tots, so bring your non-perishable and/or canned foods, as well as unwrapped toys, to help those in need celebrate the holiday season.
