We regret to inform everyone that Miners' Christmas scheduled for this weekend has been canceled due to the weather.

We regret to inform you that Miner’s Christmas is canceled this Saturday (12/20) and Sunday (12/21). With the forecasted weather we will be unable to maintain our traditional campfire.
