Would you like to begin the New Year doing something fun out in nature? If so, then join staff of the Pfeiffer Nature Center on their 5th Annual Winter's Day Hike. The hike will be moderately strenuous - which, in terms of exercise means you will be able to talk but not sing during the activity. The hike is free to the public and will take place rain or shine. However, if the weather seems extreme, look for a cancellation notice atop the website homepage at www.pfeiffernaturecenter.org.

For more information call (716) 933-0187.
