Rotary Club of Whitby Sunrise presents Winterfest!
The young & old will love our Storybook Walk at Winterfest! Read “Winter Dance” while strolling the golf cart paths of the Royal Ashburn @royalashburn. No cost for admission – donations welcome. Dogs welcome.
Snow is coming, and it's time to get ready! The squirrel gathers nuts, the geese soar south, and the snowshoe hare puts on its new white coat. But what should the fox do? Each animal advises the fox that its own plan is best, but the fox thinks otherwise—yet it's not until he meets a golden-eyed friend that he finds the perfect way to celebrate the snowfall.
Stunning illustrations by Richard Jones are the perfect complement to the Newbery Honour winner Marion Dane Bauer's lyrical and playful homage to the natural world – Winter Dance.
Walking trail open 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. – last departure 5:45 p.m.
Fireworks approx. 6:30 p.m.

"Celebrate the winter season with a festive family outing at the golf course"
 
Join the Rotary Club of Whitby Sunrise for Winterfest at the Royal Ashburn Golf Course, where we’ll have a fun-filled day of activities for all ages!
Bring the whole family and explore the picturesque walking trail along the cart path, where you’ll find a “Winter Dance” storybook walk displayed.
 
Cozy up by the bonfire and enjoy some warm s’mores and drinks from our tent. For the little ones (and the young at heart), we’ll be hosting an eye-spy scavenger hunt to keep them entertained. End the day with a dazzling fireworks show after dusk. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the winter season with your family.
