The festivities will kick off with a flannel-themed party from 8 p.m. until 2 a.m. at Night Owl on Friday, Jan. 16. Night Owl will also wrap up the celebration with an Apres Ski Party event on Jan. 17 that features DJs performing from 7 p.m. until 2 a.m.

Winter educational programs will also be offered at The Children’s Museum at Saratoga on the 17th.
