The Snowbird Festival should bring outdoor fun and warm food and drinks to those who attend on Jan. 26. The event, which is co-sponsored by Richfield Joint Recreation District, Richfield Township and Richfield Village, will take place from 1-4 p.m. 

Siberian Husky dogs and other winter animals from the Akron Zoo will be part of the fun. There will also be photo opportunities and crafts. Hopefully snow will be the featured guest to provide sledding and snowball fun.

The zoo animals will make a special appearance from 2-2:45 p.m.  Richfield Librarian Diane Nagy will read stories at 1:30 and 3 p.m. and play bingo from 1-4 p.m.Attendees can warm up inside the Lodge and enjoy coffee, cider, hot dogs and chili.
