The Westford landmark will host free winter activities Jan. 30, including snowshoeing, skating, and more.
East Boston Camps is gearing up for its second WinterFest with free activities and fun taking place Sunday from 1-4 p.m. Beth Perkins Peterson of the Westford Friends of East Boston Camps --the organizers of the event -- said the crew has been working hard to make this year even better than last. "The weather is great for WinterFest this year," Perkins Peterson said. "Last year we had it at the end of February and there was no snow and the ice was too thin to skate." With an adjusted schedule and more wintery weather than last year, organizers are expecting 600 to 700 people to participate in snowshoeing, cross country skiing, hikes, hayrides, and more winter-weather fun. Music and refreshments will also be available in the recreation hall…
