ACT Second ‘Shoes-n-Brews Winter Walk and Inn at Sunset Hill Social

SUGAR HILL – Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust (ACT) hosted 18 brave souls at ACT’s very first ‘Shoes & Brews event a few weeks ago – despite the weather a great time was had by all! If you missed it your next opportunity is coming up Sunday, Feb. 11 to bring a friend and join ACT’s second ‘Shoes & Brews event at the Inn at Sunset Hill.

The group will meet in the parking area of the Inn at Sunset Hill at 3 p.m. After the walk we’ll head inside for brews and snacks from approximately 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. Even if you can’t make the hike, you’re welcome to join us at the inn.

The snowshoe hike is hosted by ACT Trustee Rosalind Page and Executive Director Rebecca Brown. We’ll move at a slow to moderate pace on the trails in and around Sunset Hill Golf Course and surrounding woodlands. ACT conserved this historic place in 2002 thanks to the generous support of numerous community members.  Come enjoy sweeping views of Franconia Ridge and beyond from the Inn’s grounds. Kids are encouraged to come along and dogs are always welcome!

The walk will wrap up at approximately 4:30 p.m. and the group will reconvene at the Inn’s tavern for refreshments and a warm up. Join us inside to have a beverage, catch up with old friends and make a few new ones. All are welcome and free to come and go as needed. The brews portion of the event will officially run from 4:30 p.m. to about 6:30 p.m. but you’re invited to stay and enjoy the delicious fare and gorgeous views from the Inn at Sunset Hill’s newly revamped pub.

Registration for the snowshoe hike is required – for the safety and enjoyment of participants the group will be limited to 20 participants – so please be sure to pre-register ASAP. Registration closes at noon on Saturday, February 10^th. Once registered, you will receive an e-mail with details on the meeting location.

Registration for the Inn at Sunset Hill tavern is appreciated so organizers can plan accordingly. Not able to make it to both portions? You can join either or both. If you’re only coming to the pub, please bring a friend(s)!
