The Winter Carnival
The annual Winter Carnival attracts 1,000+ attendees, bringing back the good old days when skating on the Frog Pond at the Bartlet Mall was common place. The carnival features horse-drawn hayrides, free hot cocoa and cookies, open skating, sledding and snowboarding, skate races, kids activities and games.

Clean Sweep
The Clean Sweep happens each year in April in conjunction with International Earth Day. Volunteers work in teams to clean up trash and yard debris in city parks and public spaces. Past years have included a volunteer thank you celebration picnic or continental breakfast.
