If you attended the first Snow Day At The Emerald, you\u2019re probably already looking forward to the second annual gathering come the last Saturday this month, January 30. Members of Clinton Memorial Hospital Auxiliary are deep into preparations and ticket sales to ensure activities and entertainment of the day are even more exciting than the initial event.<\/p>\n

Part of that planning includes cross country skiing, snow shoeing, sledding, hiking on the golf course plus a huge bonfire. Inside the Emerald, table and card games will be joined by a hot chocolate contest and a 50\/50 raffle. Topping the list is an expanded chili cook-off and a two-hour session with Bill Brown\u2019s Sidekick Band. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
