Elkhart County Parks is sponsoring its second annual Ox Bow ChillFest from 3 to 6 p.m. Jan. 7.

Activities include sled races, snow art, bird watching, curling competitions and guided ski tours.  Scheduled programs, open to all ages, will be held on topics such as animal tracking, ice fishing, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

Take the time to warm up in the warming house or gather around a roaring bonfire with a bowl of homemade chili and a steaming cup of hot chocolate.

ChillFest takes place with or without snow. If no snow, other activities will be provided.

Events — $3 per person, $10 per family — will be held at the Ox Bow Haus Shelter at Ox Bow County Park, 23033 County Rd. 45, Goshen, Ind.
