STMA Dome Days & Nights (2024–2025)

The STMA All-Purpose Facility (a.k.a. “The Dome”) is open again this winter for local families to enjoy!

ECFE is hosting open play times for kids under 6 once each week—alternating on Thursday and Friday mornings—and also one family night per month that welcomes kids up to age 8.

Best Local Sledding Hills

Nature just dropped a boatload of snow on STMA, which makes it the perfect time to do some sledding!

If your kids are hoping to hit the slopes on their sleds, take a peek at the map below to find yourselves a great spot to catch some speed. (Descriptions available below the map)

Father-Daughter Dance – Saturday, February 10

FYCC’s popular Father-Daughter Winter Wonderland Dance is coming up soon! And this year, the event has been moved to Fieldstone Elementary to accommodate even more families.

The dance itself is 6–8 p.m., with doors opening at 5:45. Beverages and a treat will be provided. The cost is $20 per father/daughter. (additional daughters just $5 each)

Saturday Cinema at Monticello Library

If you’re looking to try a cozy, indoor activity this winter, Saturday Cinema may be just the ticket!
