In honor of MLK Day of Service, The City of Kingston, Kingston School District, and Friends of Forsyth Nature Center will be hosting it’s annual Winterfest on January 16, 2010.

The highlight of the event will be the chipping of almost 2,000 City of Kingston Christmas trees, of which the mulch will be used in the 2010 Learn and Serve America School Garden Program. This mulch will be used to help schools plant food for those in need in our community.

Winterfest will take place on January 16th, 2010, from 10am-2pm at Hasbrouck Park in Kingston, NY. This event will also feature free snowshoeing, children’s crafts, snow-related activities and great food. In order to mulch 2,000 trees we need at least 30 volunteers and can range from 6 years-90!

For more information, you can Call Kingston’s Learn and Serve America Program Coordinator at 845-331-1682, ext 7336.
