Yeti Hunt
w/ Skowhegan Outdoors – Random hours throughout the day
Join the Skowhegan Outdoors team to find the Yeti hiding in the trails at Lake George Regional Park. We will have to be careful as we embark through the trails. Yetis are known for being shy, and they blend in so well during this time of year! This makes them experts when it comes to hiding from people. The Yeti will be hanging out around the Carnival—in various places—at various times! Will YOU be able to get a picture with him?
