WEST SPRINGFIELD — The 1st Winter Carnival at Mittineague Park has been postponed from Saturday to Jan. 11 because of the recent snowstorm.
According to Mayor Edward C. Sullivan, city officials believed public resources needed to stay focused on clean-up after the storm. And Saturday morning's predicted bitter cold may deter turnout.
Sullivan said the event will kick off at 10 a.m. next Saturday with a two-mile Fun Run through the park and family-oriented exhibits and activities to follow at noon, including ice sculpting, birds of prey demonstrations, children's story time, carriage rides and crafts.
The Fun Run entry fee is $10 per runner to support Park and Recreation costs; all other activities are free.
