The Genesee Valley Nordic Ski Patrol is a group of volunteers who spend every weekend monitoring the Rochester Museum and Science Center's Cumming Nature Center to ensure the safety of skiers. They deserve some recognition, and there's no better way to honor these volunteers than with...hot dogs. That's the idea behind Nordic Hot Dog Days, the Ski Patrol's annual fundraiser held at the Cumming Nature Center (6472 Gulick Road, Naples). Hot dogs, chili, cookies, brownies, hot cider, and other delectables will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, February 23, and Sunday, February 24. The event is free for RMSC members, and there is a requested donation of $3 per person and $10 per family. There are additional charges for the food.

Recreation: Forest bathing – otherwise known as shinrin-yoku in its native Japan – is, well, sort of just what it sounds like: A soothing walk through a forest, while breathing in organic substances, called phytoncides, which further the relaxation. Sounds lovely, no?
