UPDATE: Rain Falling in Milton Cancels Snow Tubing Event

Rain has ruined the snow tubing event planned for Crabapple's Friendship Community Park on Saturday.

Milton officials have rescheduled the Christmas in July: Snow Tubing in the Park event until Aug. 10.

"Unfortunately, the ground at Friendship Community Park is so waterlogged and infirm it cannot currently support the mountain structure with the weight of the snow, nor the trucks needed to deliver the attraction," said Angela Thompson, special events and projects manager for the City of Milton. "But we're determined to have the event and have postponed it until Saturday, Aug. 10 in hopes of better conditions."

The rescheduled event will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Friendship Community Park.

This event is part of Milton's "Family, Fun, Flicks & Flurries" summer event series at the park.

Other activities will include a bounce house sponsored by Milton Chiropractic & Massage, face painting from Good Friend Mortgage and crafts from The School Place of Roswell.

Just two weeks later, outdoor movies will return, with the family favorite flick, "The Sandlot," on Aug. 24 at dusk. Activities, games and concessions will be available starting at 7 p.m.

For more information on this, or any of the City of Milton’s other special events, email Angela Thompson, special events and projects manager, or call her at 678-242-2530.
