COOKSBURG, Pa. (EYT) – The Cook Forest Vacation Bureau has made the decision to cancel this year’s “Snowman in the Forest” event.

The event will not be held due to possible flooding from the Clarion River and potential safety concerns.

“We apologize for any inconvenience and we hope to see you next year,” said Dale J. Luthringer, a Environmental Education Specialist with the Bureau of State Parks, in an email on Thursday.

The “Snowman in the Forest” event is held each year in mid-February and has included everything from sleigh rides, sledding, skating, and snowman building, to a Chinese auction, a “Happy Dog” contest, and a chili cook-off.
