Children shake a Steampunk Snowdown leg

Children and parents kicked off their day at the Steampunk Snowdown Preschool Dance Party on Saturday morning at the Durango Public Library.

Linda and Neil Dolder, parents of Audrey and Kenzie, were happy to bring their children out to enjoy Durango’s winter festival.

“It’s nice to get the kids involved,” Neil Dolder said.

During the let-loose and heavy-imbibe weekend, parents were pleased to participate in a Snowdown family friendly event.

“It’s not in a bar, and there’s no alcohol,” said Kate Patty, mother of 3-year-old Ella and 1½-year-old Olivia.

The two-hour event consisted of dancing, music, snacks and top-hat making. The event drew a strong crowd.

“We’ve always had older-kid events, so this is an experiment. So far, it’s been very fun,” said Amadee Ricketts, youth services supervisor at the library.

There were other reasons to participate in the party, too.

“We came mostly to get out of the house,” said Amanda Holt, mother of Abigail.
