It is our 8th year holding Snow Day here at the Science Mill and we couldn't be more thankful for our community's continuous support.

A big shoutout to our food vendors, Kona Ice, Myra Taco Shack, Johnson City Coffee Co., Hot Dog King, and Masshole Foodtruck, who also brought delicious refreshments that kept everyone warm and satisfied.

A big thanks to our sponsors Frost Bank and the City of Johnson City who made this incredible event possible.

Most importantly, thank you to all our guests - first-time and returning visitors, our VIPs, and members - for making the drive to Johnson City to spend your Saturday with us. We had the most wonderful time with you all!
