Winter Cabin Fever Daze

February 2002 Sunday 2-5PM

Hosted at the home of Mrs. Enid Cutler and organized by Mrs. Carol Woodall.

This event aims to familiarize newcomers to Fairbanks with the multitude of activities available during the 'cold, long, dark winters', which turn out not to be so cold and dark!
