Lyman Orchards' 43rd Annual WinterFest, described by the popular Middlefield farm and attraction as "an awesome weekend of indoor and outdoor family-oriented activities," will be held on February 21st and 22nd.
Only 1-hours drive from New Canaan, the weekend will feature a sing-along with characters from the movie Frozen, an ice carving demonstration, horse-drawn sleigh rides, and more - including, of course, donuts and hot apple cider.
