The city of Utica may not have as much white stuff as the north country but there was just enough for the Zoo's Annual Snowfari.

It was a fun filled day at Val Bialas on the parkway, new this year, a snowball softball tournament and a beer tent. And let's not forget about the famous cardboard sled race.

While it's all fun and games there is a competitive side to Snowfari too; athletes looking to qualify for this years Empire State Games. A good snow-shoer will need a lot of determination but not necessarily a lot of snow.

The best part about Snowfari is all that all the money raised goes directly to the Utica Zoo.
