Winterfest Fun

Maybe it was the subfreezing conditions, or a lack of major marketing, or just a normal 7th year slump -- but this year's attendence for Winterfest at the Cherry Hill Golf Course in far flung North Amherst definitely seemed a tad muted.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Not much going on up at Winter Fest in the remote outskirts of North Amherst, otherwise know as the municipally owned Cherry Hill Golf Course. Who would have figured that town officials would have to pay money over the last 24 hours to make snow while in Washington D.C. they are getting buried in the worst snowstorm of their existence?!

Oh well...hence the problem with things like golf or skiing: relying on Mother Nature as a business model partner is a fast track to bankruptcy (unless of course you can rely on taxpayers for life support.)
