What a day! We are so proud and incredibly grateful for the amazing support that made Winterfest so special!

A huge thank you to all of our sponsors, and especially our platinum sponsor, The Tipsy Toboggan, along with Stumpy's Hatchet House Fall River for hosting the indoor festivities and creating such a fun atmosphere!

Shout out to everyone who helped bring this event together, including the incredible staff and teams at Stumpy’s and Tipsy Toboggan. Your energy and effort truly made the day ❤️

We are also so grateful to have collaborated with Blount Fine Foods to feature Clam Shack Nation chowder as well. Such a perfect addition to the celebration!

We loved having Canned Heat Craft Beer samples as part of the raffle for the inflatable toboggans. So delicious and such a fun part of the event. There may even be a limited number of inflatable toboggans still available for purchase at Tipsy Toboggan ;))

While the celebration moved indoors, the spirit of Winterfest certainly did not! Thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated with us, including our friends from the Sons of Tobogganville. We loved having you there!!!

The vibes wouldn’t be complete without Mac Attack Entertainment’s fabulous set!!!

More photos coming soon 📸
Already looking forward to next year!

On the eve of Winterfest ❄️

We wanted to share something truly special that was given to one of our members during race weekend. This poem, written by Dan Lawry, captures so much of the spirit, tradition, and heart behind the toboggan community — and we’re incredibly honored to have been included in it.

We’ve turned it into a digital version so we could share it with all of you. Thank you, Dan, for such a thoughtful and wonderful piece. It means more to us than you know.

This is exactly the kind of spirit Winterfest is all about — community, tradition, and coming together to celebrate something we love.

We’re SO excited to see everyone at Winterfest tomorrow 🤍

We are moving inside this weekend for WINTERFEST ❄️🔥

We were hoping for a smooth, easy breezy forecast, but winter had a few extra ideas. With snow and mixed weather on the radar, we’re bringing the celebration indoors and keeping the day exactly how it should be — fun, cozy, and full of great energy.

Guests can look forward to free chowder, DJ Dan Mac bringing the vibes from 2–5PM, our handmade toboggans on display, and plenty of Winterfest fun throughout the day!

Just across the way, Stumpy's Hatchet House Fall River will be joining the festivities with some incredible indoor activities, including their inflatable target, indoor co****le, free hatchet throwing, and access to additional games. Anyone looking to throw real hatchets will simply need to sign a waiver. We’re so grateful to have such a great indoor experience available for guests all around!!!

We are incredibly grateful to Clam Shack Nation and Blount Fine Foods for collaborating with us and featuring Blount Clam Shack chowder at Winterfest. Be sure to come hungry!

A very special thank you to our Platinum Sponsor, The Tipsy Toboggan, for their continued support andfor hosting this wonderful community event!

We’d also like to extend our sincere thanks to our amazing sponsors and supporters:

CHOWDA HEADS POV ❄️❤️

What a weekend in Tobogganville.

So many laughs, so much adrenaline, and memories we’ll be talking about for a long time. Beyond proud of this crew and incredibly grateful for everyone who supports and cheers us on.

Huge thank you to our sponsors and supporters — we appreciate you more than you know.

Now we’re counting down to Winterfest ❄️

We cannot WAIT to bring these same vibes to in Fall River on the 21st ❤️

This winter has been tough! Bitter cold, endless snow, packed sports schedules, and the post-holiday slowdown we all feel.

But behind every local dining room, coffee counter, and kitchen window are real people showing up every day… turning on the lights, prepping fresh food, and hoping today is the day you walk through the door.

Local restaurants don’t run on corporate safety nets — they run on community. On your visits. On your laughter at the table. On the simple choice to stay local.

Before you place another quick online order or head to a national chain, take a moment to think about the small businesses that give our towns their flavor, character, and heart.

Whether it’s a morning coffee, a quick lunch, or a full night out — your visit matters more than you know.

Support the places that support your community.

A very special shoutout to our team captain, Don, who had an injury right before the races. While he couldn’t attend in person, he was absolutely with us in spirit and cheering from home while watching the live stream with family. We’re so grateful he’s okay and already making plans for next year!!

We are beyond grateful for our sponsors. Your support and generosity make experiences like this possible, and we truly cannot thank you enough.

And the fun is not over yet…
