Farmington Fire and Ice Fest is March 9

FARMINGTON — The snow is piling up, and the stars seem aligned for another Fire and Ice Festival, hosted by Franklin Savings Bank and Narrow Gauge Cinema, on Front Street Saturday, March 9.
The festival begins at 1 p.m. and ends after a fireworks show at about 6:30 p.m.

“People always look forward to this event as a cabin fever reliever and, with this extra-long winter, I think they are more ready now than they ever have been before,” said Anna Lyon of Franklin Savings Bank, co-hosting with Narrow Gauge Cinemas.
Although most of the festival is free to everyone, organizers brought back the $5 festival passbook to help offset some of the costs. “We’ve have people ask how they can help pay for the event in previous years. Buying a pass or two and sharing them with your friends is a great way to help out,” said John Moore, of the Narrow Gauge Cinemas and Big Sky Grill. Events requiring the pass are noted on the schedule
Fire and Ice Festival events include a snow sculpting competition, snowman making and decorating, dog sled rides, a scavenger hunt, ice scultping demonstration and so much more. For a complete list of activities, times and locations, visit the Fire and Ice Fest Facebook page.
