LEWISTON – The city of Lewiston and WinterKids will host the first-ever local “Welcome to Winter” family event from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21, at the Multi-Purpose Center on Birch Street.

Various games and activities will include learning to use snowshoes, building snow people and forts, using a snow tube and a “Treasures, Tracks, and Trees” scavenger hunt.

People are encouraged to dress warmly for the event.
