Welcome to another fabulous weekend in The Granite State! This weekend welcomes lots of fun in the snow, especially geared toward family-time! Guided snowshoe hikes are offered in many NH cities this weekend! While there is no snow in the current forecast, there is still plenty left over for some snowshoeing with cocoa!

Indoor family fun can be found at The Children's Museum of NH on Saturday at the Books Alive event. Kids will be visited by everyone's favorite monkey, Curious George, and his yellow hatted friend! There will also be a variety of monkey-inspired literacy, math and creative activities for children in the museum's large classroom!
