President's Day weekend in Mayville


One of the more fun winter festivals in western New York is taking place this weekend. The President's Days Weekend Winter Festival, formerly known as the Mayville Ice Festival, will take place February 12-14 at Lakeside Park in Mayville.


I have been to this festival a few times in the past and there are lots of fun things to do for the entire family. Some of the events include a polar bear swim, snowboarding and snowshoe demos, kids activities, horse-drawn rides, chili cook-off and more. Of course the main attraction is the ice castle, which is built from blocks of ice cut from Lake Chautauqua. It's been pretty cold, so I think the castle will be a go!
