Fall Foliage Festival, Columbus Day Weekend

Fall Foliage Foot Race, 5k Start (2009)

This years Fall Foliage Festival at Waterville Valley Resort is only days away, over the Columbus Day Weekend holiday.  We hope that you're excited as we are!  Here's everything you need to know about all of the great events the Valley will be offering over the extended weekend.

Waterville Valley Resort welcomes the 2011 BSA NH State Jamboree!  Over 2,000 scouts will be camping at the ski area Friday & Saturday nights, and enjoying the many & varied exhibitors and scout programs that will be set-up outside of the Town Square & surrounding areas.  For more information, please visit the NH Scouting webpage.

The Waterville Valley BBTS Snowsports Educational Foundation holds their annual ski & snowboard swap, at Town Square.  Sport Thoma will also be holding their Annual Columbus Weekend Sale.  If you are looking to sell some "experienced" gear, or pick up the newest mountain tech, this is the place to be!  While you're there, stop in & check out Town Square's newest shop, 1829 Outfitters, offering the latest from The North Face, Timberland, Swix, and more.

Here at the Recreation Department, we offer our Community Yard Sale, Corcoran Pond Boat Rentals and Kids Night Out on Saturday, October 8.  Limited spots remain for Kids Night Out, so if you're between the ages of 7 - 13, now's the time to sign up!

On Sunday, October 9, join us for our Fall Foliage Foot Race, including 1.6k fun run and 5k race.  Proceeds from this year's race will benefit Hoops for Heroes and the completion of the WV Elementary School Playground.  Don't worry if you didn't make the pre-registration deadline; race day registration opens at 9 am on Packard Field.

We round out the weekend with Open Gym on Sunday (1 pm - 5 pm) & Monday (10 am - 5 pm), Boat Rentals (10 am - 4 pm; all weekend, weather permitting) & Used Boat Sale on Monday (12 pm - 4 pm) at the Corcoran Pond Waterfront.  Grab a sweet deal as we sell-off some of our {used, not abused} single and double kayaks & canoes.

There's so much to do....including all of our Summer Unlimited activities, games & performances in Town Square,  Rey Center programs including astronomy, lectures, story hours and more!

We know that tracking all of this fun can be overwhelming.  That's exactly why we want you to have your very own copy of The Resort Insider.  To get your copy of Dub V's weekly newsletter, including comprehensive program & events calendar, quick facts, resort news & more, click here!
