Mentor’s inaugural winterfest-style event is being held at the Civic Center Park, 8600 Munson Road, on Saturday, February 23 from 11 am to 7 pm.

Mentor Chill Out promises a full-day of family-friendly fun as the main grounds are transformed into a winter wonderland. You’ll enjoy an outdoor skating rink, toboggan slide, ice sculpture garden, and human snow globe for photo opportunities. All day activities include murling (our version of curling), snowman building contests, ice sculpting demonstrations, Zamboni pulls, human bowling on ice, popsicle eating contests, an all-day open-skate and much more. DJ Stray will be on hand all day spinning your favorite tunes along with an Amphitheater light show.

Be sure to come hungry and take part in the Chili Cook Off or partake in some gourmet fare from a number of favorite area food trucks. Did we mention the whiskey tasting? Red Eagle Distillery will offer a selection of bourbons, ryes, and vodkas to experience. And, everything will be capped off by a fabulous fireworks show.

Mentor Chill Out will go on, snow or shine with alternative activities in the works in case Mother Nature decides to give us a break for once. Admission and activities are free so be sure to join in for Mentor Chill Out!  Learn more at mentorchillout.com.
