Mystery Hill invites you to “Chill at the Hill” during Blowing Rock WinterFest, January 23-26, 2020. Join us for the WinterHawk Tournament, a tomahawk throwing competition held each afternoon for a daily cash prize, followed by a championship round to see who will be deemed the WinterHawk Champion for 2020. Also enjoy the WinterHawk Junior Throwing Contest. Just before this contest, enjoy the Fire Starting Competition at the Dougherty House.

Looking for another challenge? Try your hand at consuming the WinterBEAST Sundae at Front Porch Eats. A WinterFest dessert with ice cream, a homemade doughnut, and plenty of wintry toppings, this “beast” is a challenge for one or a delight to be shared by your family. While the family is here, commemorate your WinterFest experience with an official WinterFest photo at Professor Finnegan’s Old Time Photos. This special souvenir 8×10 photo is only $12 during WinterFest! And kids will love competing in the Winter Duck Derby, a duck race with great prizes and FREE entry. Plus, lots of other fun events including Pin the nose on the Snowman, Snowball Fight, Jack Tales at The Dougherty House, and more!

And of course, no visit to Mystery Hill would be complete without experiencing the Gravitational Anomaly, our Fossil, Native American and Appalachian Heritage museums, and so much more! Click on the buttons below for more info!
