Center of the West holds winter celebration

Posted

The Buffalo Bill Center of the West invites families to awaken from the winter doldrums with a “Winterfest” Family Fun Day on Friday, Jan. 19 from 3-7 p.m. Participants can drop in anytime during those hours to find wintry-themed activities throughout the Center’s museums.

The first 150 participants to arrive will also enjoy a complimentary meal, from 5-6:30 p.m., to help melt away the cold.

The Family Fun Day is put on by the Center’s Interpretive Education Department and coordinated by Interpretive Specialist Luke Deurmier, who says, “Shake off the winter chill and unleash your creativity with crafts, take goofy photos with your family, and explore how animals survive the winter.”

Additional activities include learning about the live birds of the Center’s Draper Museum Raptor Experience and seeing them up close, as well as listening to some captivating storytelling.

Thanks to support from the R. Harold Burton Foundation, Winterfest is free for Buffalo Bill Center of the West members, and just $20 for non-member families. Those tickets for non-member families can be purchased online at tickets.centerofthewest.org, or at the door upon arrival.

For more information on Family Fun Days, contact Deurmier at luked@centerofthewest.org or 307-578-4005. For details on all of the Center of the West’s upcoming events, visit centerofthewest.org/events.
