Winter Solstice Celebration
December 17, 2016 10 AM
Rail-Trail Council Headquarters, Union Dale
Take a break from your busy holiday season and celebrate the Winter Solstice (a little early) with us at D&H Rail-Trail Council Headquarters in Uniondale. The solstice occurs exactly when the Earth’s tilt is the furthest away from the sun. In observance of this special day, RTC will host a morning warm up of Pilates with Patti Walker, a licensed fitness instructor, she will lead participants through gentle core and full body stretching exercises before we head out to the trail with our snowshoes and cross-country skis.
If you are new to winter sports, cross country skiing and snowshoeing are easy to learn and fun for all ages. We will hold a short clinic in snowshoe basics and will have snowshoes available to lend. Afterwards, Cable’s Deli will offer Winter Solstice lunch specials!
