HERKIMER — The MV Golf & Event Center, located at 6069 NY-5 in Little Falls, is hosting its inaugural winter festival: Freeze Fest & Snowshoe Race on Saturday, Feb. 11.

Adults can enjoy bonfires, outdoor and indoor bar service, comfort food, cornhole, and an ice golf contest. Children can take part in cardboard sledding, short snowshoe runs, make-your-own ice cream, s’mores roasting, and enjoy warm food and beverages.
