Letter from the Cooperstown Winter Carnival Committee

Thanks for the Memories!

We extend our sincerest gratitude to the more than 100 individuals, businesses and organizations who contributed to or generously supported the 2025 Cooperstown Winter Carnival. The 57th Cooperstown Winter Carnival took place January 30 to February 2, 2025.

Hundreds of residents and visitors joined us for a myriad of winter festivities, ranging from the delightful Hot Cocoa Kick-Off to the Blizzard Bash tailgate event at the Doubleday Field parking lot, and everything in between!

The success of the Cooperstown Winter Carnival, organized under the auspices of the Cooperstown Lions Club, is indebted to the combined contributions of everyone involved. This year’s theme, “A Time to Shine in Wintertime,” submitted by H. Stephen Phillips, celebrates the whimsical, uplifting spirit of winter, setting the stage for a vibrant mid-season celebration for both locals and visitors.

This achievement was made possible through the generous support of an Otsego County Community Grant. We also extend our deepest gratitude to our Snowball Sponsors: Bank of Cooperstown, Cooperstown Lions Club, Leatherstocking Credit Union, Optum, and Preferred Mutual Insurance.

Special recognition is also extended to our hospitality venue, the Cooperstown Beverage Exchange. We offer sincere appreciation to the Village of Cooperstown for their essential involvement and backing.

The 57th edition of the Cooperstown Winter Carnival was truly a triumph, and it was made possible by each and every one of you who attended and supported the cause.

With warm regards,

The 2025 Cooperstown Winter Carnival Committee
