Our Cabin Fever Winter Festival is a first-of-its-kind fundraiser, created to raise funds to meet the community service needs of Stow, Bolton, and Lancaster. This Winter Festival is designed to bring the residents of these towns and neighboring communities together for a day of family fun. Chase away the winter blues with samples of award winning chili, beer and wine tasting, hot chocolate, s'mores, and a variety of fun and unique games and activities.
