ACT’s Winter ‘Shoes-n-Brews at the Inn at Sunset Hill Feb. 9

SUGAR HILL – Everyone is invited to Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust’s ‘Shoes & Brews event at the Inn at Sunset Hill on Saturday Feb. 9.

The walk will start at the Inn at Sunset Hill at 2 p.m. after which the group will head inside for brews and snacks from approximately 4 – 5:30 p.m. Even if you can’t make the hike, you’re welcome to join us at the tavern.

‘Shoes & Brews is a great way to get outside, meet new friends, and enjoy local fare! The first ‘Shoes & Brews a few weeks ago featured gobs of snow and a cheery group of all ages who enjoyed the route on skis, snowshoes, and sleds.

Kids are always encouraged to come along and dogs are welcome!

For the ‘Shoes we will move at a slow to moderate pace on the trails on and around the Sunset Hill Golf Course and surrounding woodlands. ACT conserved this historic place in 2002 thanks to the generous support of numerous community members.  If we’re lucky we’ll get a clear day this year and you can enjoy the sweeping views of Franconia Ridge and beyond from the Inn’s grounds.  February’s ‘Shoe portion is hosted by ACT’s Rosalind Page and Outreach Director Gal Potashnick.

After the walk, we’ll reconvene for the Brews at the Inn’s tavern for refreshments and a warm up. Join us for a beverage, to catch up with old friends, and make some new ones. Everyone is welcome and free to come and go as needed. The Brews portion of the event will officially run from 4 to about 5:30 p.m. but all are encouraged to stay and enjoy the delicious fare and gorgeous views from the dining room.

Registration for the ‘Shoes is required – for the safety and enjoyment of the group we must limit the walk to 20 participants – so please be sure to pre-register ASAP. Registration closes at noon on Friday, February 8^th. Once registered, an email will be sent with details of meeting location.

Registration for the Brews is not required but is very much appreciated to help organizers plan accordingly. Not able to make it to both portions? You can join either or both. If you’re only coming to the brews, bring a friend(s)!
