2024 Winter Carnival and Ice Bowling Help Needed

2024 Winter Carnival and Ice Bowling Help Needed 

Join us on December 18th at 6:45 pm at Pocopson for our 2024 Winter Carnival and Ice Bowling!  Our Bear Den will host a winter carnival and we will have our annual tradition of Ice Bowling in the parking lot.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!  At least a few days prior to 12/18 we need families to help create the ice bowling balls and pins.  Take any empty 1-2 liter plastic soda bottle or 1-gallon milk jug, fill it with water, and pop it in the freezer.  These take a while to freeze so never too soon to start.
