There may not be snow on the ground, but that's not stopping a group from making it a white Christmas in Newtown.
According to the "We Are Newtown" Facebook page, they are hosting a festive, family fun day at Treadwell Park today, Dec. 24, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The group encourages parents and children to "put on your winter gear, bring your sleds, tubes, and join your neighbors in a day of holiday fun!"
The event, "Snow 'Angel Day," will feature sledding, hot chocolate, and a visit from Santa, who will come bearing gifts.
Treadwell Park is located at 8 Philo Curtis Road in Sandy Hook. For more information, please email SnowfromAngels@hotmail.com
With the limited water source they have at Treadwell, there wasn't enough "supply" to meet the "demand" of that size snow maker. All it made was fog and a very slight dusting of snow covering the ground in front of it. It might still work if they brought a fire truck or water tanker there.
Whether it'll be rescheduled or not, is something we'll have to wait for.
